It is a central hypothesis of this book that the future conflicts of the United States are highly likely to be unconventional wars where the adversary uses unconventional means to try to level the playing field against the world's foremost military. Further, the editors and authors share the premise that this "war next time" very likely may take the form of biological and/or chemical warfare or terrorism. Therefore, that is the focus of this book. Barry R. Schneider is the former Director, U.S. Air Force Counterproliferation Center, Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama. Author of and contributor to numerous books, including The Gathering Biological Warfare Storm (2004); The World's Most Threatening Terrorist Networks and Criminal Gangs (2009); and Battlefield of the Future: 21st Century Warfare Issues - Air Theory for the 21st Century (2012).

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: very good. Reprint. Second printing. viii, [2], 263, [1] p. Tables. Notes. Index. Contributors. A new threat is stalking nations, as terrorist organizations and rogue states alike appear intent on acquiring and using the poor man's nuclear weapon: biological agents such as anthrax, smallpox, and plague. Attacks against Americans during the past dozen years may be an indication of more worrisome events to come. U.S. military forces in Japan were attacked in April of 1990 with botulinum toxin by the Aum Shinrikyo cult. Hundreds in Oregon were sickened with Salmonella after an attack in 1984. And small amounts of anthrax resulted in widespread panic and frequent evacuations across the United States in the fall of 2001. Ten experts discuss in detail the threats posed by bio-weapons and assess the current state of U.S. biological defenses. Chapters highlight the future prospects for biological warfare, bio-weapons in the Middle East, potential agroterrorism, the emerging bio-cruise missile threat, prevalent myths and likely scenarios, as well as the public health response. The promise of future world peace after World War II was quickly shattered by the Cold War. Indeed, the nuclear age was born at a time when the world seemed to be emerging from a dark past into a hopeful future. Are we to repeat history? With the end of the Cold War, does the future hold even greater threats? Or is an old threat merely resurfacing with a new level of lethality? This book should be required reading for anyone interested in national security, as well as concerned citizens who wish to know what form this new enemy may take and what can be done to stop it.

Colonel Tat L. Pravecek was the Commander of the 5th Medical Group at Minot AFB, ND. The mission of the 5th Medical Group is to ensure nuclear surety and combat readiness through outstanding health care (nukes, boots and band-aids). She enables the Mighty Medics to deliver superior medical services for the 5th Bomb Wing, 91st Missile Wing and Minot's 12,500 beneficiaries. Colonel Pravecek was commissioned in May 1990 as a graduate from the United States Air Force Academy with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology. She has served as a research toxicologist, instructor of chemistry, health risk assessment consultant, bioenvironmental engineer, weapons of mass destruction analyst, Air Force Research Laboratory staff officer, Senior Service School Fellow at Argonne National Laboratory, Squadron Commander for the 5th Medical Support Squadron at Minot AFB and AFMC Command Bioenvironmental Engineer. The other editors were associated with Battelle. The U.S. Air Force Counterproliferation Center was directed by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency to conduct a study to determine the Department of Defense's potential involvement in responding to an agroterrorist event. This resulting report details several possible roles for the DoD in a continental U.S. agroterrorist event. The findings will provide local, state, federal, and DoD policy makers with detailed information about current capabilities and future potential roles for the DoD in helping the nation prepare for, respond to, and recover a terrorist attack on U.S. agriculture. As part of its mission to defend the United States, the DoD, in conjunction with other state and federal agencies, must plan and prepare to deter, prevent, defeat, and mitigate threats against the agriculture and food system. There are many civilian agencies involved in the regulation and protection of agriculture, progressive disaster response to an agricultural event, DoD planning considerations, and impacts of an agricultural event on the Department of Defense. . This resulting report details several possible roles for the DoD in a continental U.S. agroterrorist event. To complete this report, the CPC identified subject matter experts in the following areas: (1) DoD response planning; (2) military manpower assessment; (3) plant and crop response; and (4) carcass disposal. These areas were chosen because each has a potential for DoD involvement. The findings will provide local, state, federal, and DoD policy makers detailed information about current capabilities and future potential roles for the DoD in helping the nation prepare for, respond to, and recover from a terrorist attack on U.S. agriculture.
