The Problem of Biological Weapons

It had been widely assumed that the problem of Biological Weapons had been frozen, if not removed, when the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) came into force in 1975. the subject which had been dormant for some 25 years exploded in the 1990s as an issue for International security elites, most particularly in the United States. The studies combined for this book were written since 1999 in an effort to establish the current global status of biological weapons, their proliferation, their level of threat, and the efforts to bring them under International control.
