Stanford, CA: Hoover Institution Press, Stanford University, 1979. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Trade paperback. [16], 174, [2] pages. Wraps, Formulae. Figures. Map. Tables. Notes. Index., Foreword by Edward Teller. This is Hoover Institution Publication Number 214. The author was a physicist and senior defense analyst at R & D Associates in Marina del Rey, California. He was formerly a consultant to the Air Force, the National Academy of Sciences, and to the Director of Naval Laboratories. Dr. Speed earned his Ph.D. in Applied Physics from the University of California, Davis/Livermore. This work was supported by the National Fellowship Program of the Hoover Institution. This work provides the most extensive discussion of the vulnerability of U.S. strategic forces available at the time in the open literature. It suggests a fundamental change of NATO defense policy and describes a new plan to implement this change. The growth of Soviet military power presented a formidable challenge to the West. If deterrence were to be preserved in the 1980s, serious questions about the vulnerability of U.S. strategic forces, arms control, the defense of Western Europe, and U.S. strategic targeting doctrine need to be addressed and resolved. The author addressed these and other issues , offered possible solutions to deal with the threat to U.S. strategic forces, and suggested a new policy to cope with Soviet power in the 1980s. More

Biological warfare, also known as germ warfare, is the use of biological toxins or infectious agents such as bacteria, viruses, insects, and fungi with the intent to kill, harm or incapacitate humans, animals or plants as an act of war. Biological weapons (often termed "bio-weapons", "biological threat agents", or "bio-agents") are living organisms or replicating entities (i.e. viruses, which are not universally considered "alive"). Entomological (insect) warfare is a subtype of biological warfare. Offensive biological warfare in international armed conflicts is a war crime under the 1925 Geneva Protocol and several international humanitarian law treaties. Chemical warfare (CW) involves using the toxic properties of chemical substances as weapons. The use of chemical weapons in international armed conflicts is prohibited under international humanitarian law by the 1925 Geneva Protocol and the Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907. More
