Synopsis

With the rise of international terrorism, stateless organizations are increasingly operating outside of the normal political and legal channels that have historically been used to limit the development of biological and chemical agents around the world. Bioterror and biological warfare are now real concerns for Americans. Written by international security expert Malcolm Dando, this title offers readers clear technical information about the past, present, and future of biowarfare.
