From an on-line posting: "It is nearly 15 years since biological weapons (BW) have become a significant national security preoccupation. The events of September 11, 2001, although not in any way related to BW, combined with the distribution of professionally prepared anthrax spores through the U.S. postal system in the weeks afterwards, magnified previous concerns by orders of magnitude. Milton Leitenberg was the first American recruited to work at the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute. Since 1989, he has been at the Center for International and Security Studies at the University of Maryland. He was part of the team at SIPRI that produced the volumes on The Problem of Chemical and Biological Warfare. Since 1992, he has written or published some 30 papers dealing with various aspects of biological warfare, and in 2004 published The Problem of Biological Weapons. The information was current when the work was published by SSI.
