The Eleventh Plague: Politics of Biological and Chemical Warfare

$15.00 CAD

pp. 284.”This book is a scientific and political primer on a grim subject: biological and chemical warfare. The Eleventh Plague describes what biological and chemical weapons are, and what their effects can be; how they have been developed and tested; and what treaties and political strategies, if any, can lessen the danger from rogue nations and terrorists. The emergence in recent years of so-called ‘outlaw nations’ like Iraq, Libya and North Korea, not to mention the brutal fanaticism behind terrorist attacks in Israel, Paris, London and Tokyo make this a very timely book.”
