Plagues and History
The Story
of Anthrax
By Chris Holmes,
M.D.
9/11 changed
the way Americans viewed the world. Overnight, the threat of terrorism
became a reality. With American’s freedom at stake, and our
lives facing an uncertain future, many feared the end was near.
One of the
most terrifying aspects is the realization that a 3rd world country
could declare a war by using biological germ warfare. In October
2001, anthrax outbreaks filled the media headlines. What’s
shocking to discover is this deadly disease has long been a part
of history.
Dr.
Chris Holmes has done extensive research to enable readers to be
able to revisit history and learn what diseases have plagued mankind
from prehistoric times. His book presents a fascinating and frightening
looking into what the past, present and future could hold for our
society. Not only is it an intriguing reading experience, it offers
a wealth of medical documentation that will call out to doctors
worldwide. |
