Synopsis

This important book offers a realistic assessment of the biological dangers threatening us today. It looks at the development of germ warfare and how various nations have weaponized and stockpiled bacteriological agents, from the efforts of the Germans and Japanese during World War II to the government of Saddam Hussein in Iraq. It offers information on the real dangers of such an attack either by a government or a rogue group, and how we can protect ourselves. Illustrated with microphotographs of these disease-causing organisms, this book provides the basic facts on bioterrorist threats.
