Review :
"This is a comprehensive but concise guideline for prevention, identification, and treatment of bioterrorism threats, primarily from the health care worker's perspective...This book takes on the tremendous task of creating a concise yet complete reference for health care workers and public officials; overall, it succeeds. This is especially critical given the dynamic and expansive subject of bioterrorism."--Shock Journal Shock Journal 20061101
