From the reviews: "Acts of bioterrorism have not happened since the end of World War II except the distribution of anthrax spores in the US postal system in 2001 ... . This important book is dedicated and useful not only for governmental and public health workers but also for a broad group of readers up to practitioners who might come in contact with such events as the first ones."
