Description: "Among the startling revelations of this book is information about the former Soviet government's development of a combination of smallpox and Ebola, and how South Africa has funded biological-weapons research to target specific ethnic groups. Barnaby demonstrates that scientists and politicians are complacement about the threats that biological weapons pose.

Wantonly flouting international safeguards, laboratories around the world also continue to endanger the human population, stockpiling viruses for military use. And - even more terrifying - they have developed new plagues and super-viruses that are resistant to treatment."--BOOK JACKET.
