Interesting, frivolous, well written but scattershot and lacking structure. ( ) I love this book for its historical accuracy every page was interesting to read , If you are interested in bio weapons of ancient times THIS is the book for you. Its very easy to read into nothing to complex and the history does not drag and its not dry , The perfect book for a cup of coffee on a cold day. A very interesting book on an extremely overlooked topic of ancient warfare, ancient WMD's, chemical and biological weapons. I appreciated the explanation of the various biblical phenomenons that were attributed to 'spirits' but were actually clever scientific tricks. I also appreciated the author exploring the down hill slide that these things have created and how it effects our modern attitude towards them. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
