"Extensive scientific research has now documented the fact
that Gulf War veterans have been affected by a wide range of unexplained
health problems. This book champions their cause, providing compelling
information on these conditions and their possible connection to
chemical injury and sensitivity. The powerful stories of individual
veterans provide firsthand accounts of the myriad exposures encountered
during the war and the many challenges that ill veterans have faced
in the years since Desert Storm." |

"Alison Johnson has ably brought together the voluminous
official record that exists on the issue of Persian Gulf War syndrome
and possible and potential exposures that may be affecting Gulf
War veterans’ health. Her book should find a wide audience among
veterans, their families, their doctors, and the general public." |

"Alison Johnson’s knowledge of the field of chemical injury
and chemical sensitivity has enabled her to present a careful analysis
of the various toxic exposures that have contributed to Gulf War
syndrome. Her inclusion of stories from the veterans whose lives
have been devastated by their health problems gives the issue a
reality that no official statistics and rhetoric can convey." |
