BOOK REVIEW
Year: 2004
Type: book-review
Abstract: In nearly three years since September 11, 2001 hundreds of articles have been written regarding biological, chemical and radiological weapons of terror and the medical response to terrorism. There have been multiple new textbooks written or planned on the subject, and a spate of new journals dealing with preparations and responses to terrorism have been launched. Into this mix comes Physician's Guide to Terrorist Attack, edited by Dr. Michael Roy. In the preface to the book the editor states his intention to ‘prepare physicians and other health care workers to respond knowledgeably and confidently to a terrorist event’; he has, I believe, made good on this pledge.
