Summary: fast-paced and well-written book
Review: This is a great book with unbelieveable accounts of the horror commited by the Russian government. I believe that Ken Alibek is a great man who overcame many obsticles to become the number one man in the field of biological defence. I highly recomend this book to anyone who likes books about history, biography, modern conterversy, and heart-pounding, fast-pased novels.

Summary: A wonderful book on an utterly terrible subject
Review: It almost sickened me to read about some of the projects the author and his fellow scientists were involved in. I realize that this type of research goes on all over the world, including here in the United States, that only makes this subject more frightening. The stories about the accidents, cover-ups, and the back door dealings really showed how the military system worked in the former Soviet Union. The book was great, it clearly showed the progression of bioweapon research from the earliest parts of the twentieth century to the recent and probabally still ongoing research today. Who in there right mind would want to make an ebola-small pox virus? I highly recommend this book to anybody with an interest in world affairs.

Summary: American purity
Review: The self congratulatory simpering which The New York Timesspecializes in, neglects to mention the Tuskegee syphilis experimentson black Americans.

Summary: a book that could not be put down, a must read
Review: This book was an interesting writing about the developing of chemical weapons. I enjoyed the book to the extent that it was amazing on how the Russian government covered up there operations from the rest of the world. The book itself is an opening ordeal of what type of weapons the Russian governement has and the intentional use it was planned for. I feel that anyone who reads this book will enjoy it as much as I did. I do strongly beleive that this book is a must read for alot of individuals.

Summary: From animals to people, biological warfare is inescapeable.
Review: Accidently started in a vaccine lab in the former Soviet Union, scientits stumbled upon what seemed to be a strain of anthrax resistant to all known vaccines. The world realized that war no longer meant lugging massive arsenals of bombs across oceans, but releasing into the air bacteria or virii. Germs that would kill any living organism in their path. With political tensions rising, the Soviet Union continued research on weaponizing agents such as plague and smallbox. A book that brings out raw fear in our safe haven which we call the world. It will keep you keen on watching the sky, always suspicious of Russian planes dropping bomblets containing invisible but deadly germs. Strange smells will automatically remind you of aerosol agents. A truly chilling account of what went on behind closed doors.

Summary: Everyone should read this book!
Review: Greetings! This book is very scary in that these cultivated germs are still out there safely (or maybe not so safley) tucked away in labs around the world! I am very grateful to Dr. Alibek for writing this book. I'm glad that he is applying his expertise to biodefense now!(Spa-si-bah) Thank you! This book was a real wake-up call for me. I'll never look at germs the same way again! -MKC

Summary: A fascinating and chilling book
Review: This is a book you won't put down till you finish. Whilst this book may not provide in depth discussion on the production and effects of bioweapons, it provides enough detail for the reader to know they should be scared... very scared. 'Biohazard' however is as much the story of Alibek, as it is the story of the USSR's bioweapons. Tracing his life from his medical studies to his final decision to defect, this is also a story of a human being gradually coming to grips with the terror they have created. A well written, well paced book for anyone who brave enough to read it.

Summary: Very detailed and interesting--a real pageturner
Review: This book is very interesting. It tells of the history of the Soviet's biological weapons program. I have nothing more to say than that it is the most interesting book i've read in a long, long time.
