Description: "Elected leaders and public safety and health officials across the United States are increasingly called upon to prepare for the worst form of manmade disaster: a catastrophic terrorist attack. Although terrorism with a weapon of mass destruction (WMD) has thus far been a remote threat, it is a growing one for which the United States must be prepared."--P. 1.
