The armaments of chemical and biological warfare (CBW) are now
widely held not just by nation-states, but by terrorist and
criminal enterprises. The weapons themselves are relatively
inexpensive and very easy to hide, allowing organizations of just a
few dozen people to deploy potentially devastating attacks. While
in the twentieth century most arms-control efforts focused,
rightly, on nuclear arsenals, in the twenty-first century CBW will
almost certainly require just as much attention. This book defines
the basics of CBW for the concerned citizen, including non-alarmist
scientific descriptions of the weapons and their antidotes, methods
of deployment and defensive response, and the likelihood in the
current global political climate of additional proliferation.
