Among the startling revelations of this book is information about the former Soviet government's development of a combination of smallpox and Ebola, and how South Africa has funded biological-weapons research to target specific ethnic groups. Barnaby demonstrates that scientists and politicians are complacement about the threats that biological weapons pose.
