Samenvatting: | “We all Falll Down”is a grim warning of the appalling consequences of biological and chemical warfare. The development of toxic weapons has taken an alarming leap forward in the last fifty years. Recent surveys have shown that the Americans hold stockpiles of chemical bacteriological weapons already sufficient to destroy the world population many times over. And there is evidence that chemical warfare has been used in the Vietnam war. Unique in being solely invented for the decimation of civilian population. Toxic weapons offer the deadliest threat yet to the ecological stability of our planet. This book paints a dispassionate yet reasonably accurate and realistic picture of the current (1986) state of affairs with regard to toxic warfare. It sheds light on the objectives of these weapons the types which are, or may become, feasible, and the potential dangers they represent. In doing so it illustrates the 'scientists' dilemma: the obvious urgency for an immediate ban on further development before the total annihilation of humanity.  |
