Humanity is vulnerable to bioterrorism because current international legal regimes are inadequate to support preventive policies.

The book addresses a void in the literature on preventing bioterrorism and contributes to the knowledge base necessary for enhancing preparedness.

The book provides an overview of biologic agents that could be used by terrorists.
It discusses historical milestones in the use of bioweapons.
The author suggests measures to reduce bioterrorism, including interdiction and preparedness.

This book talks about how we can stop bad people from using germs to hurt others and why we need better rules to do that.

The author's ambition to cover the topic on a global scale may lead to oversimplification.

The book's practical applications are limited due to its single-authored nature and the complexity of the topic.
