The Future of Biological Weapons provides an excellent survey of the diplomatic history of biological weapons disarmament and efforts toward, and prospects for, achieving meaningful disarmament.
Review
"This comprehensive and well-researched description of the origins and anatomy of the Biological Weapons Convention should be welcomed by those working in the fields of microbiology and public health as well as by anyone interested in arms control and foreign affairs. Its publication is particularly timely coming on the eve of the Third Review Conference of the Parties to the Convention where measures for strengthening confidence in the treaty regime will be on the agenda. Mr. ter Haar's prescriptions for improving the treaty's health will provide a stimulus to serious thinking on this too often neglected area of arms control." - Charles C. Flowerree Former U.S. Representative to the Conference of Disarmament and Head of the U.S. delegation to the First Review Conference of the Biological Weapons Convention
