Biohazard
'We thought we had lived through the terror of a nuclear war, but something far more ominous was brewing in the Soviet Union - a biological Armageddon from which no one would escape. Dr Alibek has emerged from the world's deadliest labs to tell a story that is as important as it is chilling. Sometimes the truth is far worse than fiction. No one can afford not to read this book.' Robin Cook 'As the top scientist in the Soviet Union's biowarfare program and the inventor of the world's most powerful anthrax, Dr Ken Alibek has stunned the highest levels of the U.S. government with his revelations. Now, in a calm, compelling, utterly convincing voice, he tells the world what he knows. Modern biology is producing weapons that in killing power may exceed the hydrogen bomb. Ken Alibek describes them with the intimate knowledge of a top weaponeer.' Richard Preston, author of The Hot Zone

Summary of Ken Alibek & Stephen Handelman's Biohazard
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was a colonel with the Soviet army, and I was called to a meeting at Soviet army headquarters on Frunze Street in Moscow. I was taken to a small adjoining room, where I was issued a pass, and then on to a guard booth, where a young soldier examined my pass and picture. #2 I was asked to help prepare the missiles for launching. I had developed a more potent anthrax weapon, which allowed us to load more missiles with anthrax without straining our labs’ resources. #3 The Soviet Union developed and produced the anthrax weapons. The weapons took one to five days to incubate in the body, and victims often didn’t know that they had been attacked until after they began to feel the first symptoms. #4 The Soviet Union had developed several biological weapons, including anthrax, plague, and smallpox. The first symptoms of anthrax are a faint blue coloration of the skin, followed by aching pain in the lungs, which can lead to death within twenty-four hours.
Defending Against Biothreats
Natural and man-made biothreats to our nation will continue to plague us. In this timely Center for Security Policy volume, 11 experts look at the 2020 coronavirus pandemic and beyond to provide an in-depth analysis of this threat and assess what the U.S. government must do to defend the American people.National Review's Jim Geraghty, China expert Gordon Chang, and national security expert Claudia Rosett lead off with sobering looks at the spread of the coronavirus, the Chinese government's criminal negligence that caused it to become a pandemic and how the World Health Organization's collaboration with Beijing covered up the danger and denied the world crucial time that could have saved hun...

Germs
In the wake of the anthrax letters following the attacks on the World Trade Center, Americans have begun to grapple with two difficult truths: that there is no terrorist threat more horrifying -- and less understood -- than germ warfare, and that it would take very little to mount a devastating attack on American soil. In Germs, three veteran reporters draw on top sources inside and outside the U.S. government to lay bare Washington's secret strategies for combating this deadly threat. Featuring an inside look at how germ warfare has been waged throughout history and what form its future might take (and in whose hands), Germs reads like a gripping detective story told by fascinating key figures: American and Soviet medical specialists who once made germ weapons but now fight their spread, FBI agents who track Islamic radicals, the Iraqis who built Saddam Hussein's secret arsenal, spies who travel the world collecting lethal microbes, and scientists who see ominous developments on the horizon. With clear scientific explanations and harrowing insights, Germs is a masterfully written -- and timely -- work of investigative journalism.
The Soviet Biological Weapons Program
This is the first attempt to understand the full scope of the USSR’s offensive biological weapons research, from inception in the 1920s. Gorbachev tried to end the program, but the U.S. and U.K. never obtained clear evidence that he succeeded, raising the question whether the means for waging biological warfare could be present in Russia today.
The Demon in the Freezer
“The bard of biological weapons captures the drama of the front lines.”—Richard Danzig, former secretary of the navy The first major bioterror event in the United States-the anthrax attacks in October 2001-was a clarion call for scientists who work with “hot” agents to find ways of protecting civilian populations against biological weapons. In The Demon in the Freezer, his first nonfiction book since The Hot Zone, a #1 New York Times bestseller, Richard Preston takes us into the heart of Usamriid, the United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases at Fort Detrick, Maryland, once the headquarters of the U.S. biological weapons program and now the epicenter of n...
