About this title

Review:

"Ed Regis...suggests that if we all wind up dying of anthrax or Ebola, we have no one but our own sneaky, germ-growing government to blame."--"New York" Magazine "In a chilling tour de force of historical research Regis portrays hubris, evil, and paranoia among scientists and military leaders of the '40s and '50s, and offers stark evidence of the terrifyingly efficient utility of biological weapons."--Laurie Garrett, author of "The Coming Plague"
