- Summary:
- "Reflecting the critical threat posed by biological warfare and terrorism, the Borden Institute has released 'Medical Aspects of Biological Warfare', the latest volume in the 'Textbooks of Military Medicine' series. This book is an update of the previous edition of 'Medical Aspects of Chemical and Biological Warfare', published in 1997. 'The need for a revised version of this work has never been greater. A decade later, the complexity of the threat has increased beyond the boundaries of state-sponsored programs and to the terrorist use of novel pathogens, ' according to Colonel George W. Korch, MS, US Army, Commander, US Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases. 'The continued threat of biological weapons dictates that all Department of Defense medical personnel become conversant with state-of-the-art treatment for biological casualties. What may have been perceived merely as useful information in the past is now a requirement for all medical providers.'"--The publisher
