Author Description

A ground-breaking book that traces Canadas pioneering role in the development of biological weapons; including insidious gases, germs, poisons, & viruses; before, during, & immediately after the Second World War. Discover how Canada mass-produced deadly anthrax at a secret island lab in the St. Lawrence River & permitted hundreds of volunteers to be exposed to lung-searing mustard gas at a research station in Alberta. With 8 pages of photos, its a story of ingenuity, heroism, & horror, culled from files that had been closed for almost half a century. A strong book... a book to be reckoned with.
