Description

Jeanne Guillemin. An absorbing first-person account of an investigation into a mysterious 1979 anthrax epidemic in the Soviet Union, the worst ever recorded in a modern industrial nation. Prof. Jeanne Guillemin vividly describes the virulence of anthrax as a biological weapon, raises important issues of accountability, & questions our own country’s leadership in arms control. She provides insights into how scientists actually work -- the ceaseless questioning from every conceivable angle whose goal is to eliminate doubt. Guillemin also explores how anthrax is being used in biological warfare from groups as diverse as religious fundamentalists in the Middle East to white supremacists in the U.S. B&W photos.
