Gas Attack: Ypres 1915 by John Lee

Gas Attack: Ypres 1915 by John Lee

The mist of poisonous gas that drifted across no man's land from the German trenches opposite the Ypres salient on 22 April 1915 caused ghastly casualties and suffering among the unprepared defenders, and it opened up a huge seven-mile gap in the defensive line. It also signalled the beginning of a new and frightful era of industrialized warfare. John Lee's graphic and perceptive reassessment of this milestone in the history of the Great War - and of the gruelling full-scale battle that followed - is one of the few full-length studies of the event to have been published in recent times.

Lee is a mathematics professor at the University of Washington. Professor Lee is the author of three Springer graduate textbooks: Introduction to Smooth Manifolds (GTM 218), Introduction to Topological Manifolds (GTM 202), and Riemannian Manifolds (GTM 176). Differential geometry, the Yamabe problem, the existence of Einstein metrics, the constraint equations in general relativity, and geometry and analysis on CR manifolds are among Lee's major interests.
