Weapons of Mass Destruction : Chemical, Biological and Nuclear

This book is a compilation of government reports on weapons of mass destruction.

Chapter 2 discusses the continuation of the national emergency with respect to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.

Chapter 3 reports on the Department of Homeland Security's organisation to counter weapons of mass destruction.
