Product Description
4,000 years ago, armies in India released toxic fumes against their enemies. Ever since, chemical and biological weapons have had a place in warfare, though their use has been almost universally reviled.
In the changed world after September 11th, an understanding of these chilling weapons is increasingly important. This illuminating program--now on DVD for the first time--goes a long way to exposing the myths and misconceptions surrounding them, while also detailing the very real dangers they represent. Scholars, scientists and military historians tell of famous incidents where chemical and biological weapons have been used, and we'll get an inside view of how they are manufactured today from Ken Alibek, the former head of the Soviet biological warfare program, who defected to the United States in 1992. Alibek's unflinching analysis of the risk of a biological or chemical terror attack is riveting, and he also explains why successful use of these weapons is a challenge that many groups and governments are incapable of meeting. |
