Media Reviews
A fascinating, informative, and alarming account of the weapons we dread the most--how they've worked in practice, and how they may work in the future. We should all be grateful to Leonard cole for uncovering the important truths about biological and chemical weapons. --Richard Preston, author of The Cobra Event and The Hot Zone The Eleventh Plauge is a significant contribution to the all-too-sparse literature on an issue that grows more crutial with every passing day. It should be read by anyone wanting to understand what may well be tomorrow's headlines. --Daniel Patrick Moynihan, United States Senator Professor Cole offers a valuable, highly readable analysis of an emerging global threat. --Elaine Sciolino, diplomatic correspondent, The New York Times
