This Rand Corporation report, commissioned by the U.S. Air Force, assesses the threat to the U.S. military of toxic weapons in operations abroad and explores threats to the "homeland." The composition and sources of toxic weapons are described, although the FBI's belief that the anthrax used in the postal attacks of 2001 came from the U.S. military is not mentioned. Threats to U.S. forces and countermeasures are discussed, with a particular focus on Air Force operations. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
