A thorough handbook covering the facts, history, and controversies
surrounding our most controversial and misunderstood unconventional
weapons. Unlike most books on this topic, the expanded second
edition of Mauroni's popular reference handbook is neither
sensationalistic nor moralistic. Instead, it offers readers a
reasoned, thorough, and fact-based introduction to this highly
charged issue. Covering the period from World War I through the
Iraq War, Chemical and Biological Warfare not only describes the
development of key chemical and biological agents, such as anthrax,
tularemia, brucellosis, VEE, Q fever, and botulinum toxin, it also
assesses the threats we face, compares military CB warfare with
terrorist incidents, explains effective defensive measures, and
clarifies the responsibilities of the various federal agencies
charged to address these issues. With extensive new material, this
edition provides an authoritative and up-to-date introduction to
this vitally important topic. Outstanding research aids include key
Internet and published references and an index offering rapid
access to entries on key figures, government agencies, and
defensive equipment A chronology of chemical-biological warfare
incidents from the mid-20th century onward offers a thorough
historical overview
