Biohazard: The Chilling True Story of the Largest Covert Biological Weapons Program in the World--Told from Inside by the Man Who Ran It

â€œRead and be amazed.Â .Â .Â . An important and fascinating look into a terrifying world of which we were blissfully unaware.â€â€”Robin Cook, author ofÂ Contagion

Anthrax. Smallpox. Incurable and horrifying Ebola-related fevers. For two decades, while a fearful world prepared for nuclear winter, an elite team of Russian bioweaponeers began to till a new killing field: a bleak tract sown with powerful seeds of mass destructionâ€”by doctors who had committed themselves to creating a biological Armageddon. Biohazard is the never-before-told story of Russiaâ€™s darkest, deadliest, and most closely guarded Cold War secret.
Â
No one knows more about Russiaâ€™s astounding experiments with biowarfare than Ken Alibek. Now the mastermind behind Russiaâ€™s germ warfare effort reveals two decades of shocking breakthroughs . . . how Moscowâ€™s leading scientists actually reengineered hazardous microbes to make them even more virulent . . . the secrets behind the discovery of an invisible, untraceable new class of biological agents just right for use in political assassinations . . . the startling story behind Russiaâ€™s attempt to turn a sample of the AIDS virus into the ultimate bioweapon. And in a chilling work of real-world intrigue, Biohazard offers us all a rare glimpse into a shadowy scientific underworld where doctors manufacture mass destruction, where witnesses to errors are silenced forever, and where ground zero is closer than we ever dared believe.
