摘要:
Professor Donald Avery has written the most definitive available history of the Canadian biological warfare (BW) program. The scope of Pathogens for War is to analyze “the impact of bioweapons, bioterrorism, and pandemics within the historical context” (p. 3). Avery places the Canadian BW narrative with several broader contexts: (1) national politics where the Canadian government pursued a secret BW research and development program in the face of mounting public antipathy; (2) North Atlantic security, which bound Canada into combined biological planning with the United States and the United Kingdom; and (3) the role of BW within a world dominated by nuclear weapons.
