- Bioterrerism has quickly become one of the most pressing and disturbing issues of our time. Our nation's leaders warn that the threat of germ weapons by terrorists is real, and, more importantly, that the United States remains highly vulnerable.

Senator Bill Frist, M.D. provides an accessible and comprehensive guide to dealing with the realistic threat of bioterrorism.
