Press Release / Book Announcement

by Francis A. Boyle

Foreword by Jonathan King

This book outlines how and why the United States government initiated,

sustained and then dramatically expanded an illegal biological arms

buildup. Most significantly, U.S. expert Francis A. Boyle reveals how

the new billion-dollar U.S. Chemical and Biological Defense Program has

been reorientated to accord with the Neo-Conservative pre-emptive

strike agenda--this time by biological and chemical warfare.

Linking U.S. biowarfare development to the October 2001 anthrax attack

on Congress--the most significant political attack on the

constitutional functioning of democracy in the United States in recent

history--Boyle sheds new light on the motives for the attack, the media

black hole of silence into which it has fallen, and why the FBI may

never apprehend the perpetrators of this seminal crime of the 21st

century.

Biowarfare and Terrorism should raise public concern at what the vastly

expanded US biowarfare research and purported civilian preparedness

programs hold in store for America--and the extent to which the Bush

administration is prepared to pursue them, irrespective of their

incitement to a global biowarfare arms race, and their likely exposure

of the American people in the future to both accidents and reprisals.
