Publishers Description: 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. Centered around the warriors in the biological battle, "Plague Wars" features the men behind Iraq's plan to gain plague war superiority; how the Pentagon planners have already war-gamed the West's response to the first full plague war attack; the Japanese cult terrorist plan to spread biological terror around the world; details of the Russian's biological warfare programme and the defectors who have blown the whistle on what the Russians are really up to and how a covert biological warfare programme may represent one of the last untold secrets of South Africa's apartheid war. To reveal these stories, the authors have secured the co-operation of the American Department of Defense, the United Nations and various civilian and military intelligence agencies.
