Superterrorism -- heinous and violent acts aimed at causing massive death and destruction -- poses the greatest threat to life as we know it. Schweitzer publicizes for the first time the volatile mix created when religious and other zealots join forces with mobsters. He warns that the tried and true routes for smuggling drugs and arms may become highways for contraband nuclear, chemical, and biological materials that could lead to the kind of catastrophe Americans have never known. He also exposes the unholy emerging alliances between American dissidents and international terrorists. Are we prepared for an attack on American soil? Schweitzer provides a shocking answer, but also suggests steps to prevent the worst from happening. Reading like a novel, this startling book not only drives home the most dire threats that confront us, but provides answers on how to repel the clutches of the superterrorist threat.

The Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention entirely prohibits biological warfare, but it has no effective verification mechanism to ensure that the 140-plus States Parties are living up to their obligations. From 1995-2001 the States Parties attempted to negotiate a Protocol to the Convention to remedy this deficiency. On 25 July 2001 the United States entirely rejected the final text which would probably have been acceptable to most other states. The book investigates how this disaster came about, and the potential consequences of the failure of American leadership.
