Editorial Reviews

In September 2001, three leading journalists on the staff of the New York Times published the provocative and disturbing results of their investigation into biological weapons. For months, Nova’s cameras followed the journalists as they pursued their inquiries. Bioterror reveals for the first time how the U.S. planned to bomb Cuba with biological weapons during the 1961 missile crisis, tours abandoned germ war factories built on a frightening scale by the former Soviet Union, and takes an exclusive look at current U.S. work on bioweapons. Is this new research an essential protection against the next terrorist attack? Or a provocative violation of the international treaty banning offensive development?
