Terrorism, war, or disease? : unraveling the use of biological weapons
The use of biological warfare (BW) agents by states or terrorists is one of the world's most frightening security threats but, thus far, little attention has been devoted to understanding how to improve policies and procedures to identify and attribute BW events. Terrorism, War, or Disease? is the first book to examine the complex political, military, legal, and scientific challenges involved in determining when BW have been used and who has used them.
Through detailed analysis of the most significant and controversial allegations of BW use from the Second World War to the present, internationally recognized experts assess past attempts at attribution of unusual biological events and draw lessons to improve our ability to counter these deadly silent killers. This volume presents the most comprehensive analysis of actual and alleged BW use, and provides an up-to-date evaluation of law enforcement, forensic epidemiology, and arms control measures available to policymakers to investigate and attribute suspected attacks.

Responding to Chemical and Biological Threats
Susan Martin comments on Scott Sagan's article, \"The Commitment Trap: Why the United States Should Not Use Nuclear Threats to Deter Biological and Chemical Weapons Attacks\" (2000), by outlining the reasons why she feels the main point is flawed. She first suggests that his theory to promote a more decisive response to a chemical or biological weapons attack on the part of the US is not adequately justified. She also criticizes his failure to distinguish between what she sees as distinctly different threats coming from chemical vs biological weapons & the different approaches that should be taken toward each. Sagan then replies to this criticism, with particular attack on her two central arguments regarding the likelihood of a president retaliating with nuclear weapons & the differentiation of approaches to the two types of weapons.
