Beskrivelse af Defending Against Biothreats
Natural and man-made biothreats to our nation will continue to plague us. In this timely Center for Security Policy volume, 11 experts look at the 2020 coronavirus pandemic and beyond to provide an in-depth analysis of this threat and assess what the U.S. government must do to defend the American people.National Review's Jim Geraghty, China expert Gordon Chang, and national security expert Claudia Rosett lead off with sobering looks at the spread of the coronavirus, the Chinese government's criminal negligence that caused it to become a pandemic and how the World Health Organization's collaboration with Beijing covered up the danger and denied the world crucial time that could have saved hundreds of thousands of lives. Rosemary Gibson contributed a related chapter on why the pandemic should lead U.S. officials to end America's dependency on China for essential medical supplies and drugs.Most of Defending Against Biothreats discusses the growing danger from man-made and natural biothreats and how to defend against them. This includes chapters from former Soviet biological weapons scientist Dr. Ken Alibek, Albina Tskhay, Shoshana Bryen, and Stephen Bryen. Former CIA operations officer Charles Faddis discusses the lessons terrorists will draw from the 2020 pandemic. Former national security officials Paula DeSutter, Stephen Elliott and John Lauder discuss U.S. and international policies to defend against biothreats and why much more needs to be done.A must-read for anyone looking to understand the lessons from the 2020 coronavirus pandemic that our leaders must act on to defend against a dire security threat that could kill millions or billions, and possibly wipe out the human race.
