The threat of biological weapons has never attracted as much public
attention as in the past five years. Current concerns largely
relate to the threat of weapons acquisition and use by rogue states
or by terrorists. But the threat has deeper roots--it has been
evident for fifty years that biological agents could be used to
cause mass casualties and large-scale economic damage. Yet there
has been little historical analysis of such weapons over the past
half-century.
"Deadly Cultures" sets out to fill this gap by analyzing the
historical developments since 1945 and addressing three central
issues: Why have states continued or begun programs for acquiring
biological weapons? Why have states terminated biological weapons
programs? How have states demonstrated that they have truly
terminated their biological weapons programs?
We now live in a world in which the basic knowledge needed to
develop biological weapons is more widely available than ever
before. "Deadly Cultures" provides the lessons from history that we
urgently need in order to strengthen the long-standing prohibition
of biological weapons.
