Introduction:

This update to the 2007 version of Medical Aspects of Biological Warfare is an excellent, comprehensive, and thorough scientific and historical review of biological weapons pathogens. It is written by some of the foremost experts in the field; most of the contributors are current or former researchers at the United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID), an institution that is devoted to protecting soldiers from biological threats. The Department of the Army published this volume as part of their series Textbooks of Military Medicine. It is available in print and online at the Borden Institute website [1].
