excellent handbook

This book covers everything from the basics of the threat thru the BCW regimes to what the federal government should do to prepare for a disaster of this sort. The closing chapter is what I found the most interesting because of the discussion of ways to deter the use of BCW. The various authors each explain their positions in a thought provoking way that allowed me to think about the problem and arrive at my own conclusions that can be synconized with the writers. This book is great if you want to know what the experts think about this problem and the solutions that they have arrived at.
