Selected bibliography

1. Davis, Lorraine, et al., editors, Medical Aspects of Chemical and Biological Warfare, Washington, D.C., office of the Surgeon General, 1997.

This is a thoroughgoing, textbook treatise.

2. Falkenrath, Newman, and Thayer, America’s Achilles Heel: Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Terrorism and Covert attack. Cambridge, MA, M.I.T. Press, 1998.

This is the best general book on the subject that I found. It focuses directly on policy implications.

3. Hamm, Mark, American Skinheads: The Criminology and Control of Hate Crime. Westport, Conn. Praeger, 1993.

I didn’t know the difference between skinheads, punks, and rockers until I read this book. I found it fascinating, particularly in relating these movements to rock music.

4. Laqueur, Walter, Fascism: Past, Present, Future. New York, Oxford University Press, 1996.

This is an extraordinarily readable book about a movement that most of us thought had been defeated in World War II. I found it inordinately stimulating, particularly in relation to the current economic and social turmoil in Russia.

5. Lundberg, George, Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). Chicago, Vol. 278, No. 5, August 6, 1997.

This entire issue of JAMA was devoted to the issues of bioweapons, biowarfare, and bioterrorism. It is written from the point of view of the health-care provider.

6. Preston, Richard, “Annals of Warfare: The Bioweaponeers.” The New Yorker, Vol. 74, No. 3 (March 9, 1998).

This is a wonderfully written article that is bound to disturb any reader.

7. Remnick, David, Resurrection: The Struggle for a New Russia. New York, Random House, 1997.

This is another enormously readable, enlightening, and ultimately disturbing book. It is a must for anyone interested in the current chaotic situation in Russia.
