Biological and Chemical Weapons

By Amy Francis

Book Overview

This comprehensive volume explores the threat of biological and chemical weapons to the United States and elsewhere. It examines types of biological weapons and chemical agents, funding for the development of these weapons, and the role of legal intervention. Readers will examine whether the U.S. food supply is vulnerable, whether countries need to eliminate their own stockpiles, and whether these weapons are morally worse than conventional weapons.
