These top secret trials were conducted in North Queensland, with often shocking consequences for the hapless volunteers.As well as graphically revealing the first-hand experiences of many survivors, this story delves into the origins of chemical warfare. It treats the scientific culture of experimentation and the growing movement to ban such weapons after the terrible gas casualties on the Western Front.
