Description

Since the end of the Cold War, the threat of nuclear, biological or chemical (NBC) attacks -- the “weapons of mass destruction” in today’s headlines -- being unleashed against civilian populations has loomed ever larger. A deadly combination of shortsighted mistakes by Western governments, chaos in the former Soviet Union, & virulent international terrorism has succeeded in making us all far more vulnerable than many would like to admit. Here is a guide to the worst possible threats to our individual & national security -- from easily accessible uranium to smallpox to suicide bombers -- & what we can do to save ourselves, our country & the planet. Explains how & why NBC warfare may be our next nightmare. Companion to the 8-hour PBS series. Illustrations.
