“We made a unique contribution of our own to the region‘s multiplying environmental tragedies. In 1972, two fisherman died when a shift in the direction of the wind sent a cloud of plague over their boat. In the 1970s and 1980s, abnormally high instances of plague were detected in rodents in inhabited areas north of the testing ground. After the Soviet collapse of 1991, doctors reported outbreaks of plague in several areas of Central Asia.” Pg 16

It seems like an appropriate time to read a book on biowarfare, aye?
