About This Item
Harpercollins, New York, 2003. Very Good. Hardcover. 006052278X . First edition 8vo 246 pages illustrated with black & white photographs. Near fine hard back with a near fine unclipped duat jacket. No inscriptions. The Killer Strain is the definitive account of the year in which bioterrorism became a reality in the United States, exposing failures in judgment and a flawed understanding of the anthrax bacteria's capacity to kill. With the pace and drama of fiction, this book goes behind the scenes to examine the confused, often bungled response by federal agencies to the anthrax attacks of 2001. It shows how the Bush administration's efforts to control information and downplay risk led to mistakes that ultimately cost two postal workers their lives. .
