"Certainly an interesting look at the topic of biowarfare. Although, honestly, given what she describes in this book, and the breakthroughs in biotechnology since this book was written, I think its scientific premises (what can and cannot be made) are vastly outdated. But thinking about how other countries have, and probably still are, developing bioweapons, as well as how to protect against them, is intriguing. And scary, since it seems as though it's a gizillion times easier to make them than it is to protect against them."
"This work covers some of the history of and behind US research into biological weapons. It goes through the interactions between the US and post-Soviet scientists and the attempts to keep germ warfare knowledge from rogue countries and terrorists. Bureaucratic infighting is also covered to some extent."

"I really liked this book -- I just wish I was a better reader. At times the text was just too dense for me. It was a learning experience, though, reading this book."
