博客來Fritz Haber was one of the most brilliant and influential scientists of the 20th century. He won a Nobel Prize for developing the Haber-Bosch process, a revolutionary invention that rescued humanity from the brink of mass starvation and continues to feed billions today. His work changed the course of civilization.
Yet, this same mind, fueled by an unyielding patriotism, would also pioneer the use of chemical weapons on the battlefields of World War I. He became the father of gas warfare, a figure of international condemnation, and a man whose personal tragedy was a direct consequence of his terrible creation.
From his rise as a celebrated German patriot to his tragic exile at the hands of the very nation he served, Fritz Haber’s life is a chilling case study in the duality of science and the profound ethical questions it raises. This book unearths the full story of the man whose legacy is a blessing to billions-and a curse on the battlefield. Approx.166 pages, 31000 word count
