Biological War

Praise for Biological War: A Scenario

“A scrupulously realistic book about the inconceivable…This is important work…Biological War is an indictment of the weapons programs that created our discomfiting reality, and of a leadership that has allowed it to continue.” — The New Yorker

“This book moves like a meteor… Biological War is a heavily researched book about contagious and potentially civilization-ending pathogens…That so many were willing to talk to her, and have their names affixed to this book, indicates the esteem in which she is held.” — New York Times Book Review

“Will scare your pants off, but in a deliciously readable fashion.” — Boston Globe

“The scenario here is fictional, but the horrors are not only possible but based on real actions, plans, and fears collected by veteran author Annie Jacobsen in her new book.” — The New York Post

“It’s gripping and very, very scary at how this scenario plays out.” — Transfer Orbit

“Read this book. It is a better briefing on the problem than the one we received in Downing Street six years ago – and that is not just a compliment to Jacobsen but more an indictment of us.”— The Spectator Magazine (UK)
