5.0 out of 5 stars
A Great Primer
A concise history of the development of biological weapons. Coming in as a somewhat short read at 200 pages, I'd recommend this as a primer for anyone who'd like an introduction to the subject.

Politics not science
This book was a good review of the politics of Biological weapons control. The theme was that biological weapons can be controlled by agreements. However the book relates many examples of how international controls did not work, so it defeats its own premise. i did not find this book helpful for a scientific or political background on the issues.

Policies of use, deterrence, and proliferation,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Biological Weapons: From the Invention of State-Sponsored Programs to Contemporary Bioterrorism (Hardcover)
Biological weapons and their potentials has received public attention relatively recently in this country, and for a basic primer on the topic, don't miss Jeanne Guillemin's Biological Weapons, designed to help readers understand the relevance of these weapons and their use. Chapters examine policies of use, deterrence, and proliferation, considering conflicts between media rights and secrecy in development, public awareness issues and rights, and preventative measures against attack.
