Describes the prospects for the development and use of genetically engineered biological warfare, examines the U.S. military biotechnology program, and discusses the future of genetic arms control

Reviews

This book is an in-depth probe of the frightening new era of genetic technology and the threat of an emerging biological arms race. Investigative journalist Pillar and molecular biologist Yamamoto present in intelligent language a complex problem of policy, science, and law. They provide a devastating analysis of the military's use of deception and secrecy to avoid governmental control and to manipulate an all-too-cooperative industry in developing chemical and biological weapons and Frankensteinian supertoxins and diseases. High marks go to their coverage of the historical development and use of chemical and biological warfare (CBW), the law and policy of CBW treaties, the future of genetic arms control, and the call for a new agenda of action. Designed for informed readers, but deserves attention from academicians and policy makers. Clifton E. Wilson, Univ. of Arizona, Tucson
