Death in a small package : a short history of anthrax

Jones, Susan D. 1964- (Author).

Summary: A disease of soil, animals, and people, anthrax has threatened lives for at least two thousand years. Farmers have long recognized its lasting virulence, but in our time, anthrax has been associated with terrorism and warfare. What accounts for this frightening transformation?
