-------- Original Message -------- Subject: NEW OCEAN PRESS TITLE - BIOTERROR From: "Ocean Press" <pilar@oceanbooks.com.au> Date: Fri, January 10, 2003 12:07 am To: <info@oceanbooks.com.au> BIOTERROR Manufacturing Wars The American Way Edited by Ellen Ray and William H. Schaap " A valuable antidote to the view that the United States opposes chemical and biological warfare." Ed Herman This timely new book from Ocean Press features selected articles from CovertAction Quarterly demonstrating how the United States itself has been the most notorious practitioner of chemical and biological warfare (CBW) and the only user of nuclear weapons-since the colonial army gave blankets laced with smallpox to the Native Americans 250 years ago. This collection of articles documents the history of the development and use of CBW by the United States (including anthrax, Agent Orange, nerve gas, dioxin, and depleted uranium) and the horrors and suffering it has inflicted on the "target populations," as well as on unsuspecting American civilian guinea pigs and the unwitting GIs ordered to "deliver" them. A particular feature of this book is Bill Schaap's essay explaining how Cuba has been a particular victim of US biochemical warfare, such as during the 1981 Dengue Fever epidemic. 90 pages, US$9.95 ISBN 1-876175-64-8 ORDER DIRECT: 10 % discount FROM OCEAN PRESS (details below) with credit card (mastercard or visa) or check.
