Summary, etc. Addresses a broad range of issues related to biological warfare, with the underlying purpose of considering whether advances in molecular biology have substantially affected biological warfare and defenses against it. The book is divided into 3 parts. Part 1 - Biological Weapons and Warfare - examines the implications of the biotechnology revolution; and motivations for and against proliferation. Part 2 - Defense and Prophylaxis - covers biological threat assessment; investigations of suspicious outbreaks of disease; and biological warfare defense. The final part - International control - spans treaties, confidence-bulding measures, and export controls in support of arms control; arms control obligations in the industrial sector; the US Department of Defence's counterproliferation activities; the use of intelligence in investigative operations to track down illegal weapons programmes - such as UNSCOM in Iraq; bioethics and the prevention of biological warfare.
