Reviews
"This important book carefully analyzes events in the Russian Federation since 2012 related to possible novel weapons developments and the future of the Biological Weapons Convention. It gives ample reasons for concerns, but ends by suggesting ways in which such concerns might be reduced." -Malcolm Dando, University of Bradford
