Summary of Ken Alibek & Stephen Handelman's Biohazard

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was a colonel with the Soviet army, and I was called to a meeting at Soviet army headquarters on Frunze Street in Moscow. I was taken to a small adjoining room, where I was issued a pass, and then on to a guard booth, where a young soldier examined my pass and picture. #2 I was asked to help prepare the missiles for launching. I had developed a more potent anthrax weapon, which allowed us to load more missiles with anthrax without straining our labs’ resources. #3 The Soviet Union developed and produced the anthrax weapons. The weapons took one to five days to incubate in the body, and victims often didn’t know that they had been attacked until after they began to feel the first symptoms. #4 The Soviet Union had developed several biological weapons, including anthrax, plague, and smallpox. The first symptoms of anthrax are a faint blue coloration of the skin, followed by aching pain in the lungs, which can lead to death within twenty-four hours.
