"This is a rare look at the INSIDE of the Soviet Union's secret biological warfare network by its deputy director. Dr. Alibek gives us a fascinating look not only at the Russian biological warfare program but the futility of negotiating arms control treaties with Russia - they have never been honest with us on arms control and even Gorbachev had ICBMs pointed at us full of plague and smallpox."
