Review "This is a key book for anyone studying BW, WMD or public health, especially considering its highly impressive list of contributors. It is well focused, cohesive and achieves its objectives in an iformative and interesting way." (Michelle Bentley Political Studies Review)"Terrorism, War or Disease is a genuine synthesis of scholarship, analyzing the complexity of BW events and the political, social and natural factors that influence the interpretation and handling of available information. The lessons learned from each case study apply to a number of serious global issues of increasing importance and urgency. The writers are leaders in the field, known for their individual and collaborative scholarship." (Nancy Connell, Director, the Center for Biodefense University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey)"This book provides a much-needed, detailed and authoritative examination of the issues that have to be addressed in the accurate attribution of the causes of unusual outbreaks of disease and allegations of the use of biological weapons." (Hans Blix Executive Chairman of the Weapons of Mass Destruction Commission)"Terrorism, War, or Disease? proves the importance of general awareness of biological weapons threads and the establishment of procedures to detect and respond to possible hostile attacks . . . Clunan's, Lavoy's, and Martin's book rightly emphasizes the need for adequate information networks on both national and international level, sufficient mechanism to investigate alleged uses of biological weapons, and, in particular, agreed standards on the evaluation of evidence." (Ines Peterson Criminal Law Forum)"This book offers flashes of insight over the dark terrain of bioterrorism. A real contribution."

Excellent case studies
This is a very good introductory book on analyzing biological incidents to see if they are terrorism or not. Among other incidents, the anthrax letters case and the Cuban allegations that the US used bio weapons are discussed and analyzed. This is a serious book, grounded in good scholarship.
