Biological Warfare A Brief History

The history of biological and chemical warfare is lengthy and texts on the subject should be consulted for further details. The focus of this chapter is an extension of the book, foodbome diseases. However, a brief review of this field is instructive. Most of what is presented here relative to terrorist attacks in food, and which has been written about by other authors, has never occurred. This must be viewed as pure speculation extrapolated from the use of chemicals and infectious disease in a military environment. Such speculation, once considered pure fantasy, now has a chilling reality to it based on recent terrorist attacks throughout the world.
