Biohazard

A terrifying, fast-paced account of tests and leaks, lab accidents and deadly disasters, KGB threats and assassinations, "Biohazard" is full of revelations: evidence of bio-warfare programs in Cuba and India, actual deployments at Stalingrad and in Afghanistan, experiments with mood-altering agents, a contingency plan to attack major American cities, and the true story behind a mysterious anthrax outbreak in Sverdlovsk. As the former head of the Soviet germ warfare program, Alibek provides the intimate details that only he could, of a secret military empire masquerading as a pharmaceutical company, which, at its peak, employed sixty thousand people at more than a hundred facilities - and of the hundreds of tons of plague, anthrax, smallpox, and other deadly viruses that lie ready and waiting to be unleashed.
