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, "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.

Synopsis
"The Eleventh Plague" deals with a terrifying and compelling subject: biological and chemical warfare. Using historical and contemporary examples, Cole explains what biological and chemical weapons are, how they are developed and tested, and what their effects can be. He vividly describes the very real threat that Iraq would use chemical weapons in the Gulf War - real enough that every man, woman, and child in Israel had to wear a gas mask. He also analyzes the possibility that the so-called Gulf War syndrome may have been due to biological or chemical weapons, a possibility that federal investigations have yet to confirm or disprove. Cole lucidly describes the wide range of possible responses to the threat of biological or chemical warfare. But every expert admits that absolute protection may be impossible. Materials can be easy to get, even easier to transport, and virtually impossible to trace. "The Eleventh Plague" arms us with a frightening knowledge. What do recent political and technical developments suggest for the future? And how will we fight this increasingly ominous, deadly plague?

    Although this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.

From the prompt communication to the fast shipping, everything was handled with utmost professionalism. The item arrived exactly as described and was well-packaged to ensure its safety during transit. The seller was courteous and responsive, making the entire transaction smooth and hassle-free. I highly recommend this seller to anyone looking for quality products and excellent service.
