Description:

Germs: Biological Weapons and America's Secret War is a work of investigative journalism by Judith Miller, Stephen Engelberg, and William Broad of The New York Times. The book attempts to uncover the truth about biological weapons and show why bio-warfare and bio-terrorism are fast becoming our worst national nightmare. A narrative of cutting-edge science and spycraft, Germs shows why advances in biology and the spread of germ weapons expertise to such countries as Iran, Iraq, and North Korea could make germs the weapon of the twenty-first century.
