Back to AtD. Finding It. Phosgene. pp.950-955

[Mark Kohut]

Phosgene, that deadliest synecdoche for WW1. Details re how it works are right says a 
pwiki poster. True?
 
Light is the spark. Cf. light, natural vs. this......
 
Artificial and created by electricity, mentioned in the text as well.............................
 
More of P's tropes used to indict War, modern War, the First World War.........
So important in his vision, isn't it?, that his WW2 novel sez early 
 
"It is all Theater now".....the reality happened long ago.......here, soon (in the world of AtD)
A wiki poster says it is about 1912 at this point I think...
