Plague Wars: A True Story of Biological Warfare

Front Cover
Macmillan, 1999 - Biological warfare - 402 pages
This text argues that biological warfare whether in the hands of madmen states or lone terrorists has the potential to do more damage than even nuclear weapons. It cannot be properly banned by treaty; it cannot be controlled; and it requires little investment to refine. It is the poor man's atom bomb. The battlefields of the new biological menace are being defined and it is time for the world to be warned for it stands close to the threshold of something new and terrible.
