Read and be amazed. . . . An important and fascinating look into a terrifying world of which we were blissfully unaware.--Robin Cook, author of Contagion. Anthrax, smallpox, and incurable Ebola-related fevers are just the tip of the iceberg. For two decades, while the world braced for nuclear disaster, an elite group of Russian bioweaponeers cultivated a new realm of destruction—driven by doctors committed to creating biological Armageddon. This account unveils Russia's most closely guarded Cold War secret, revealing the shocking truths behind its biowarfare efforts. Ken Alibek, the mastermind of this initiative, shares insights into two decades of alarming advancements, including how leading scientists reengineered deadly microbes to enhance their virulence. Discover the secrets of an invisible, untraceable class of biological agents designed for political assassinations and the unsettling attempt to transform the AIDS virus into a formidable bioweapon. In this chilling narrative, readers gain a rare glimpse into a shadowy realm where medical professionals engineer mass destruction, silencing witnesses to their errors, and where the threat of catastrophe is alarmingly close.
