R. William Johnstone uses the 2001 anthrax attacks
as he point of departure for an analysis of the past. present, and future of America’s preparedness to deal with major
challenges to public health, including bioterrorism and pandemic flu. He
identifies the strength and weaknesses of the system. While making
recommendations for improvements that will allow the U.S. to be better prepared if faced
with a larger or different biological threat.
Bioterror brings together a variety of sources, the best
available evidence on the status of the public health security system at three
distinct points: before 2001; during and immediately after the anthrax attacks;
and in the period from 2004 to the present.
