It addresses how best to deter the use of such weapons, the resulting policies of the Department of Homeland Security, and the ways to constrain proliferation. Jeanne Guillemin recounts the circumstances under which scientists, soldiers, and statesmen were able to mobilize resources for extensive biological weapons programs in the wake of the events of September 11 and the anthrax attacks of 2001.
