This is a paperbound reprint of a 1999 work in which Taylor, a biochemist, presents a nontechnical narrative of chemical, biological warfare and terrorism (CBWT) for general readers. He examines the scientific and military basis and considerations behind the use of chemical and biological agents to injure and kill people, and explains in simple terms the various agent types, their use, effects on people, how they injure and kill, and means of detection, treatment, antidotes, and decontamination. Technical terms are clearly and simply defined. Tactical considerations for the use of CBWT agents are also explained as they apply to terrorist use against civilian populations. He also spells out measures to take to protect family and self if one lives near a chemical plant. c. Book News Inc.
