Explores the threats of biological weapons - in contrast to the idea of biological substances as nebulous agents of terror - by analysing the anthrax scares in the US in 2001. This book argues that while threats of bioterrorism are real, they are disproportionate to the fantasmal fears and illusions that permeate American politics and culture.
