Biological and chemical weapons have had a long and checkered history. Incidentally, instead of proliferating, like conventional warfare, the use of biological and chemical warfare (CBW) has decreased over time. The advent of biotechnology, namely in the field of microbiology, molecular chemistry and genetic engineering have opened new doorways for human race to propel itself to a better future. However, like all things, there is a darker, more sinister side to biotechnology. One element of this "dark side" is the manufacture and proliferation of biological and chemical weapons.... This book elaborately discusses the burning issues of biological warfare in the contemporary world. It will be highly informative to all concerned.
