Review
This report looks at inexpensive ways terrorists, non-state actors, and rogue states can threaten U.S. forces and civilians using common industrial compounds... [It] also recommends that first-responders incorporate such a scenario in their disaster drills. This report will stimulate your thoughts and could lead you to discovering new ways of dealing with this threat from a medical perspective.
Navy Medicine, January 2003
It's a short book, but it offers solid information and can provide helpful information as the United States takes the next steps in the war on terrorism.
