Yesterday and today I read a 300-page book by the former director of the Soviet Union's germ warfare program. In it, Dr. Ken Alibek, born Kanatjan Alibekov in what is now Kazakhstan, describes his work in the Soviet biological warfare program which was producing 80 tons of anthrax spores a year no more than 10 years ago. In 1992 he defected to the U.S. and is now employed by the Department of Defense. I got Biohazard at a used book store. It was not a best-seller and may be a little hard to find. It's listed as on back order at Amazon, which posts excerpts covering the first 38 pages. It is truly the scariest book I have ever read - vaccine-resistant smallpox, anthrax bombs on ICBMs, Bolivian hemorrhagic fever, and more. God knows what has been screened out as classified information. It's breaking news even if it was published last year. Follow this link to read the first 38 pages and customer reviews of Biohazard
