Biowarfare and Terrorism

This book outlines how and why the United States government initiated,sustained and then dramatically expanded an illegal biological arms buildup.Most significantly, U.S. expert Francis A. Boyle reveals how the new billion-dollar U.S. Chemical and Biological Defense Program has been reorientatedto accord with the Neo-Conservative pre-emptive strike agenda—this time bybiological and chemical warfare.Linking U.S. biowarfare development to the October 2001 anthrax attack onCongress—the most significant political attack on the constitutionalfunctioning of democracy in the United States in recent history—Boyle shedsnew light on the motives for the attack, the media black hole of silence intowhich it has fallen, and why the FBI may never apprehend the perpetrators ofthis seminal political crime of the 21st century.Biowarfare and Terrorism should raise public concern at what the vastlyexpanded US biowarfare research and purported civilian preparednessprograms hold in store for America—and the extent to which the Bushadministration is prepared to pursue them, irrespective of their incitement toa global biowarfare arms race, and likely exposure of the American people tofuture accidents and reprisals.
