4.0 out of 5 starsGood Info and Insights for those in the Business
By Thomas W. Spoehr on November 12, 2006
Format: Hardcover
For those that work in the profession of defending America and its interests from the threats of Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) hazards "Where Are the WMDs?" provides a wealth of good information and background. It is particularly useful for those working at the strategic level at the Department of Defense level--Service Headquarters, Office of the Secretary of Defense and similar organizations. Individuals that operate at tactical or operational levels may not be as interested in some of the efforts and history that took place in and around Washington DC. But in order to understand where the CBRN defense program needs to go, it is useful to know where it has been.

Al Mauroni is one of the few professionals writing in this field and many of his ideas are valuable:

* He argues passsionately for a clear-eyed appraisal of the CBRN threat--massive chemical attacks vis-a-vis the Soviet Union are much less likely today--and thus our strategy and acquisition objectives should also change.

* He makes a good case that the term "WMD" is not useful and that we need more accurate terminology to define the problem set.

* Mauroni also clearly sees that the domestic threats need to be treated differently than those encountered in wartime--a distinction that many today seem to overlook. Application of domestic environmental standards like those found in OSHA, NIOSH and the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, which are necessary when operating in the U.S., would be disasterous when operating in overseas hostile environments where other dangers such as bullets and IEDs are also present.

Not recommended for the casual reader, but for those that have an interest or are engaged in CBRN defense at the strategic level in the US Government, this book provides useful background and a number of important ideas.
