| Résumé : |
Crucial information on nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons. From the diseased animal carcass hurled over the wall of a besieged castle to the nuclear suitcase bomb carried by a clandestine operative, the threat of unconventional weapons has always been a feature of warfare. Today's danger comes mainly from the potential use of nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) weapons of mass destruction (WMD) by international terrorists or rogue states. False alarms and misinformation about these weapons have abounded in the jittery post-9/11 atmosphere. To understand and deal with the actual threat posed requires basing response plans, policy, and reporting on actual facts. This book separates fact from fiction about NBC weaponry by providing clear, technically precise information. It is an essential reference for understanding and responding to these dangerous warfare agents. |
