In an era shadowed by the spectre of mass destruction, We All Fall Down: The Prospect of Biological and Chemical Warfare presents a chilling and authoritative examination of one of humanity's most sinister inventions. Robin Clarke chronicles the development, proliferation, and terrifying potential of biological and chemical weapons, guiding the reader through the cold, clinical science behind agents designed not to destroy infrastructure, but to annihilate life itself. Written with the urgency of a public warning and the precision of a scientific briefing, the book argues that the threat posed by these weapons is not a distant abstraction but a clear and present danger to civilisation. Clarke writes with a journalist's tenacity and a scientist's rigour, cutting through political obfuscation to detail the military doctrines, international treaties, and catastrophic accidents that have defined the history of CBW (chemical and biological warfare). A landmark work of popular science and political commentary from the Pelican imprint — long a standard-bearer for serious non-fiction — this volume forces the reader to confront a deeply unsettling question: in a world where nations have already built the means to wipe out millions, what is truly stopping them from doing so?
