5.0 out of 5 stars Weapons of mass destruction, 8 Aug 2002
By A Customer
This was an informative and accurate account of the past and present situations that have concerned chemical and biological weapons. It includes a rough outline of all aspects of the subject that concern the public. It however does have a limited amount of scientific information and is instead a more political guide.
