About the Author
Ken Alibek, a former Soviet bioweapons expert who rose to the rank of deputy chief of the USSR's secretive Biopreparat program, defected to the United States in 1992, bringing with him unprecedented insider knowledge of one of the Cold War's most terrifying secrets. As a microbiologist and high-level official, he oversaw the development of deadly pathogens like anthrax and plague, witnessing firsthand the ethical horrors and near-catastrophic risks of biological warfare. Now a prominent author and consultant on biosecurity, Alibek draws on his unique experiences to educate the world about the dangers of covert bioweapons programs. His seminal work, Biohazard: The Chilling True Story of the Largest Covert Biological Weapons Program in the World--Told from Inside by the Man Who Ran It, offers a gripping, firsthand account that has shaped global discussions on bioterrorism and arms control.
