"This is a fascinating review of the historical uses of biological and chemical warfare. These have not been unique to the modern era.
Entertaining to read, it's hard to put down. I found myself returning to certain chapters because they contained such amazing details.
The author treats the 12 Labors of Hercules as actual events, as well as the stories of Jason & the Argonauts. She makes the point that, even if they were myth, clearly the concepts that are the theme of the book were well known at the time."
"This textbook is a good read. It discusses biological and chemical weapons the ancients used. So if you think bio and chemical weapons are new, you are quite mistaken."
