<br/><br/> Inside Britain's top-secret compound of Porton Down in Wiltshire and other chemical and biological research operations worldwide, experiments on humans and millions of animals are used to perfect weapons of mass destruction. The author has gained access to some of the world's best kept secrets, to expose the full horror of a deadly international industry. The sources include classified documents and first-hand accounts from personnel sworn under the Official Secrets Act. Other topics include: investigations into Gulf War Syndrome and its deadly tragic repercussions; international coverage from the 3000-plus US scientists engaged exclusively on "bugs and gases" research, to Gadaffi's new killing factory in Libya and the UK's new #3.5 million gas chamber; testimony from recent human volunteers, and revelations about the on-going experiment on animals; evidence of "live" trials of biological agents in the London Underground and heavily populated areas of America. 1996 marks the 80th anniversary of the start of activity at Porton Down.
