So, I was doing a little research on Max Brooks, having recently received an ARE of his latest book, and came across this graphic history, and advocacy book, that traces our experience with germ warfare of diverse sorts, looks at where we are today, and highlights some of the challenges we face in protecting ourselves from such assaults in future.

"But while science helped win the war on germs, it also helped use germs for war."
Germ Warfare: A Very Graphic History is a thoroughly fascinating, meticulously researched comic-book documentary (and brownie points for successfully bringing that genre to that medium!) on the scientific discovery and ensuing military weaponization of germs.

Solid introduction to the history of biological warfare and bio-terrorism, from roughly medieval warfare through WWI/WWII to the Amerithrax attacks. Around high school-level of complexity, doesn't really get into the weeds of the science or policy. A reminder of the value of investments in public health, which also enhances national security.

Good history recap about world's most silent killers, and how humans have, are and will use them against each other.
Unfortunatelly, the ones who are not aware about their history, are condemned to repeat it. ...more

Solid, rapid-fire history of biological warfare. There was a bit more body horror than I expected in the illustrations ("oh, okay, that's a drawing of a bucket of amputated limbs, all right") but I would recommend this as a quick primer for the non-squeamish.

Quick read graphic novel about the history and future of infectious diseases. Brooks focuses specifically on how germs have been used for centuries as weapons, and how the government is fighting a battle not just against germs, but against misinformation about them.
