Hardcover: 256 pages
Publisher: Natl Academy of Science (October 1, 2003)
ISBN: 030908881X
On October the 3rd 2001, Robert Stevens became the first fatal victim of bioterrorism in American, when, barely conscious, he entered a hospital emergency room with a fever and nausea. The medical staff had no idea what was making him sick, yet it was these doctors and the public health officials who solved the mystery - it was anthrax. Already shocked by the September 11 attacks, America panicked. Birthday cards, postcards and monthly bills were all regarded with suspicion and the US postal service became a deadly place to work. Yet behind the investigations of the police and the FBI, the medical and scientific detective work that is the frontline of any bioterrorism defence, was being carried out in hospitals and laboratories by incredibly dedicated and expert staff. Leonard A. Cole has personally interviewed every one of the surviving inhalation anthrax victims, along with relatives, friends and associates of those who died, in addition to public health officials, scientists, researchers, hospital workers and treating physicians. Speaking through their voices, "The Anthrax Letters" is a minute-by-minute account of the events, told by the very people that found themselves at the centre of the whirlwind. It is a testament to the untold and crucially important work of the scientists, doctors and researchers performing life-saving work under intense pressure and public scrutiny. It shows how the work of medical staff like these is any country's best chance in the event of a bioterrorist attack, and highlights just how vulnerable the world is to such warfare.
