America's Achilles' Heel: Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Terrorism and Covert Attack
Book
By Bradley Thayer, Former Research Fellow, International Security Program, 1995–1997, Richard A. Falkenrath, Former Assistant Professor of Public Policy; Former Principal Investigator, Executive Session on Domestic Preparedness; Former Executive Director for Research, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs and Robert Newman, Former Research Fellow, International Security Program, 1995-1996
Nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) weapons delivered covertly by terrorists or hostile governments pose a significant and growing threat to the United States and other countries. Although the threat of NBC attack is widely recognized as a central national security issue, most analysts have assumed that the primary danger is military use by states in war, with traditional military means of delivery. The threat of covert attack has been imprudently neglected.
