- catalog abstract ""The reality of bioterror struck America and the world in October 2001, as dramatic headlines stirred a national fear of anthrax in the mail. Five people were killed and government mail was delayed for months. People across the country were stocking up on antibiotics to thwart the threat of biological warfare." "In the search for answers to the anthrax conundrum, many will be interested to learn what has been brewing in laboratories around the world under the guise of government research. The West Nile virus that appeared in the Northeast in 1999 was identical to one that Iraqi president Saddam Hussein planned to use in a bioterror attack. The former Soviet government has developed a deadly combination of smallpox and Ebola. South Africa has funded biological weapons research to target specific ethnic groups. America controls stockpiles of various viruses for military use. And - even more terrifying - these new super-viruses are resistant to treatment."--Jacket.".
