Summary: Author Joey Thomas and Stories Unlimited announce publishing of "Anthrax For Breakfast".
Stories Unlimited announced today the release of an e-book titled "Anthrax for Breakfast" (www.anthraxforbreakfast.com) by award winning journalist Joey Thomas. A culmination of three years of research into the US biological and Chemical weapons program, Mr. Thomas has traveled throughout the US investigating the biological and chemical weapons program and the investigation into the 2001 anthrax attacks.
Ridge: Bio Attack 'Greatest Fear'
Former Homeland Security secretary Tom Ridge says that a bioterrorism attack is his "greatest fear" – but the nation is woefully unprepared to deal with such an attack, experts disclose.
The government has spent $20 billion on bioterrorism preparedness since 2001. But Ridge says that when it comes to dealing with a biological attack with a contagious agent, "we're not where we want to be."
( USA Today August 1, 2005 )
"Anthrax for Breakfast" is a well-researched threat analysis of one of the worst menaces of our time, a reconnaissance mission into the shadowy and dangerous world of biological weapons.
For more than three years the author traveled within this strange subculture. Standing in the home labs of extremist bio-warriors, who have enough hate for the US government and enough training in biochemical research to carry out their threats to murder "up to 40.000 or 50.000 (people) with Anthrax, if we are lucky". The author trained with home land defense forces in the Army's "Nightmare Tunnel"; he also tested the porous security system at the most important government bio weapon research facility; and went out on a boat with former members of the top-secret SHAD program to the exact spot where he and his fellow shipmates were sprayed with chemical and biological agents by US planes.
"Anthrax For Breakfast goes beyond the unnerving threat analysis: It presents the first comprehensive eyewitness account of how US servicemen and civilians were unknowingly exposed to top secrets test using biological and chemical agents at the height of the Cold War. Finally, we visit the "Shadow People": Residents of the towns along the perimeter of America's vast test and storage sites for biological and chemical agents. Parents making a living from deadly weapons, while the kids play in clear sight of test ranges and high-intensity ovens burning some of the most toxic substances known to mankind.
Villains and heros, spy wars and secret labs, killer bacteria and madmen - "Anthrax for Breakfast" is a important book whose next chapter might unfold as an urgent news report on CNN.
