	CNS - Book: War of Nerves
		War of Nerves is a detailed history for the general reader of the discovery, development, proliferation, and control of nerve agents such as Tabun, Sarin, Soman, and VX, the most lethal class of chemical weapons.
		During the Iran-Iraq War of the 1980s, Saddam Hussein's Iraq was the first country to employ nerve agents on a large scale, initially against Iranian troops and then against its own Kurdish minority.
		War of Nerves is based on extensive research with primary sources, including declassified U.S. government documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act; archives in the United States, Britain, Germany, and France; and interviews with individuals formerly involved in the U.S., British, and Soviet chemical weapons programs.

	Amazon.co.uk: A War of Nerves: Soldiers and Psychiatrists, 1914-1994: Books (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		War is often described as long periods of boredom punctuated by moments of sheer terror.
		Given that since the Second World War half of the world has been training to be a counsellor while the other half has been trying to kill each other, you might ask why our understanding of war-related stress is still in its infancy.
		From shell shock in World War 1 to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in recent years, this is a brillant and profound examination of changing views on the nature, cause, and treatment of those who broke down mentally as a result of warfare, and of steps to reduce the incidence of such breakdowns.

	Guardian Unlimited \| The Guardian \| Michael Clarke: A war of nerves
		The war on terror has become a theme war, like similar "wars" on crime, poverty or drugs: fashionable and im portant, but unwinnable in the sense that wars are supposed to be won.
		There is no magic formula for dealing with terrorism: no one battle that wins the war, no technique that destroys the evil of it.
		Politicians simply have to keep their nerve, their sense of proportion, and do more of the same with greater efficiency and determination.

	Random House \| Books \| War of Nerves by Jonathan B. Tucker
		In 1925, the use of chemical weapons in war was prohibited by international treaty; in 1997 the ban on the use of chemical weapons was extended to cover their development, production, and stockpiling.
		Tucker writes about the synthesis of the first nerve agent—Tabun—in 1936 by a German industrial chemist developing new pesticides how its high toxicity made it unusable as a pesticide but viable as a weapon for the Nazi regime.
		Iraq’s use of nerve agents hastened the negotiation of an international treaty banning the use of chemical weapons, which went into effect in 1997.

		Already two police officers have been shot, shops have been hit with grenades and an Albanian pizzeria was raided, leaving one person dead and the owner badly beaten.

		This is one in an occasional series of stories about military reservists and their families and how they cope in a climate of war.
		In some ways, Alan Echeverria has been waiting for war since that cataclysmic day when he stood horrified before a TV set, watching the second jetliner crash into the World Trade Center.
		He waited as his unit was put on alert and the soldiers were ordered not to venture beyond a 50-mile radius of home, just in case they should be called to leave suddenly.

	War of Nerves
		I also don't like the fact that my government has not conducted the war in a way that will lead to real victory or the fact that my government has created a very real terrorist threat in Iraq where little if any at all existed before.
		War is about killing on the one hand, and surviving on the other.
		We likely agree on more about this war than we disagree about, and one thing that I like to believe is true about myself is that I can argue with a friend about politics, work, art, sports, or life, and do so passsionately, and then shake hands, have a beer, and move on.

	The War of Nerves (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Surprise, like war, exists on three levels: strategic (whether there will be an attack), operational (how the attack will be carried out) and tactical (where and when the attack will occur).
		The United States was in danger of losing operational surprise early in the new war on terrorism, when the desire to act immediately was strong and the assumption was the United States would respond as it had in the past, with cruise missile attacks aimed at a variety of targets.
		We are therefore in a period of classic psychological warfare -- the war of nerves.

	Democratic Underground Forums - "Blair rallies Britain as war nerves fray "
		As both Britain and the United States warned last night that the war would take much longer and would be more difficult than had been predicted just days ago, Downing Street authorised the release of a statement from Blair at his weekend retreat at Chequers.
		'In any war there are ups and downs,' one Downing Street official said, indicating that Blair feared losing some of the widespread support for bombing Afghanistan which he has built up since the attacks of 11 September.
		One senior Pentagon official expressed frustration at the way the war was going, admitting bin Laden remained 'an elusive target' and that destroying al-Qaeda was 'like trying put your thumb on a blob of mercury'.

		Public opinion in Western Europe is overwhelmingly against the war, and the opposition of France, Germany and Russia to immediate military action threatens to destroy the North Atlantic Treaty Organization that only in November Bush lauded.
		Throughout the entire Iraq confrontation, from the "axis of evil" phrase in the State of the Union address last January until Bush's speech at naval base Thursday, the United States has been playing a masterful strategy to form a coalition by threatening to do alone what the other nations are reluctant.
		This played out as a war of nerves on Saddam Hussein designed to shake his resolve as well.

		The quarrel between the former allies is linked to differing strategies on the management of the Congo war, regional leadership rivalries, and competition over Congo resources.
