• The Gulf War Syndrome Cover-up

  A major postwar medical and military theory claiming that Gulf War illnesses suffered by veterans were not primarily the result of oil-well smoke or vague stress, but of hidden exposures such as experimental vaccines, anti-nerve-agent pills, pesticides, depleted uranium, or unacknowledged Iraqi chemical-agent releases. The theory grew from the persistence of chronic multisymptom illness among veterans and from years of official uncertainty, denial, and evolving explanations.
