Description
The Problem of Biological Weapons, by Milton Leitenberg. Stockholm, Sweden: Swedish National Defense College, 2004, 206 pp. "The age of bioterrorism is now," the Washington Post said in January 2005. Many politicians, policymakers, and scientists agree, and so billions of dollars are being spent on biodefense R & D. A dramatic increase in classified threat-assessment research is imminent, including the exploration of potential new bioweapons agents and technologies. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist says that bioterrorism is "the greatest existential threat we have in the world today" and calls for a biodefense R & D effort that "even dwarfs the Manhattan Project." Many others agree.
