The problem of chemical and biological weapons of mass destruction is not well understood by the general public nor, for that matter, by the members of the Armed Forces who could face these terrible weapons should they be unleashed. Complicating this lack of understanding is the reality that use of chemical and biological - and even limited nuclear - weapons has become a greater threat than it was in the Cold War era, when the superpowers kept a leash on their client states. Now, nations that cannot hope to challenge the United States seriously with conventional force have the means and possibly the motivation to use such weapons. The authors of this volume have coined the term "niche threat" to identify these states, falling as they do in a category below major power status but above the threshold of WMD capability. While civilized nations have repudiated the use of such weapons, we must confront the possibility of having to deter and defend against chemical and biological weapons. Accordingly, the essays in this collection discuss the dangers of the niche threat, the possibility that such weapons could be used, and the measures the United States can employ to deter their use.

Herman Kahn (February 15, 1922- July 7, 1983) was one of the preeminent futurists of the latter third of the twentieth century. He was a founder of the Hudson Institute and originally came to prominence as a military strategist and systems theorist while employed at RAND Corporation, USA. He was known for analyzing the likely consequences of nuclear war and recommending ways to improve survivability; a notoriety that made him an inspiration for the title character of Stanley Kubrick's film satire, Dr. Strangelove. His theories contributed to the development of the nuclear strategy of the United States....Kahn's major contributions were the strategies he developed during the Cold War to contemplate "the unthinkable", namely, nuclear warfare, by using scenario planning and applications of game theory.
