Product Description

Review
Advance praise for Biohazard
"As the top scientist in the Soviet biowarfare program and the inventor of the world's most powerful anthrax, Ken Alibek has stunned the highest levels of the U.S. government with his revelations. Now, in a calm, compelling, utterly convincing voice, he tells the world what he knows. Modern biology is producing weapons that in killing power may exceed the hydro-gen bomb. Ken Alibek describes them with the intimate knowledge of a top weaponeer."--Richard Preston, author of "The Hot Zone
"An important and fascinating look into a terrifying world of which we were blissfully unaware. While we all grew up with the anxiety of the threat of a nuclear winter, little did we know there was an equally horrific menace from biotechnology. Biohazard takes you behind the scenes of the Soviet Union's clandestine bioweapons program. Read and be amazed. . . ."--Robin Cook, author of "Contagion
"This is a gripping book. The hum of machines that kept deadly airborne germs away from the scientists and their families can be heard in the background. The technical details are vivid and terrible even as the human story unfolds. It was fascinating--and chilling--to peer inside this awesome war machine. I worked for a dozen years to develop defenses against a Soviet threat that was largely unknown. To see its full scope made me realize how overpowered we would have been if it had ever been used. Military casualties would have been incredible, but civilians would have suffered equally as contagious diseases raced through cities and towns. Some of the Soviet 'advances, ' such as inducing antibiotic resistance in classical pathogens like plague, would have changed thepractice of medicine forever."
--C. J. Peters, author of "Virus Hunter, former deputy commander of USAMRIID, now at the CDC

Synopsis
Describes the massive Soviet Cold War effort to manufacture, stockpile, and deploy biological weapons.
