Found the answer at http://www.amazon.com/Bioterrorism-Family-Guide-John-Kingsley/dp/1413706924 John Kingsley has travelled extensively, lived with many indigenous people in various parts of the world and has learned the skills that such peoples have used and in some areas still use to sustain their way of life. He is recognized as an authority on counter-revolutionary warfare and has advised major corporations the world over on how to mitigate such risks. By A Customer After the tragedy of 9/11, and in its aftermath, it is surely only a matter of time before we will have to confront and deal with the actual event of bioterrorism. We have been told it is coming, so its not an 'if' but a 'when'. Many feel such an event will herald the end of civilization, and with good cause, perhaps. Read this book and, more than ever before, you will know that there is every real potential for survival - not just of the fitest or privileged - but for all of us. Uplfiting, confidence building, and undoubtedly the most valuable and easy to comprehend - and action - instruction book I have ever read. Sounds interesting!

1996 was a year of major elections, major explosions and the end of the world's most famous marriage.

America and Russia both re-elected their premiers: Boris Yeltsin was re-elected Russian leader on July 3 and on November 5 Democrat Bill Clinton was re-elected US president, comfortably beating Republican rival Bob Dole. Right-winger Binyamin Netanyahu was narrowly elected Israel's prime minister. And in September national elections were held peacefully in recently war-torn Bosnia.

The US city of Atlanta hosted the summer Olympic Games. But a bomb stole headlines from the sporting achievements, exploding in the Olympic Park on July 27, killing one and injuring many. On June 25, a U.S military base in Saudi Arabia was bombed, killing 19 U.S serviceman. 1996 saw the arrest and charging of a notorious serial bomber - the reclusive American Ted Kaczynski, dubbed the Unabomber.

On July 17, TWA Flight 800 exploded over Long Island, New York, killing 230 people. More people were killed on commercial flights in 1996 than any other year to date.

On August 28, the divorce of Prince Charles and Princess Diana was confirmed by England's High Court, dissolving the Royal couple's 15 year marriage.

There are many interesting things that happened in 1999. One event that was interesting and sad was a snowstorm in the Midwestern part of the United States killed 68 people. Another interesting event that happened was that wrestler Jesse Ventura became governor of Minnesota.

The Iraqi forces were expelled from Kuwait.

George Bush announced a suspension of fighting. Saddam Hussein agreed to withdraw his forces from Kuwait but announced to his subjects that he had won the war.

After 6 weeks of operation desert storm (the intense aerial bombardment of military targets and communications centres in Iraq and Kuwait) the end came surprisingly swiftly, after only 100 hours of the ground war launched in Iraq and Kuwait.

Covert Bailey is a nutritionist who has a degree in Biochemistry from MIT. He wrote books, including one called "Fit or Fat."

United Nations made economic sanctions against Iraq due to the invasion of Kuwait. Later, the UN passed United Nations Security Council Resolution 687 which establish terms for cease-fire.

The US reacted to the Iraqi violation of a treaty by beginning the Gulf War. It was a short-lived affair, and afterward everyone knew that the US was not to be trifled with.

Budget Enforcement Act of 1990 - Gramm Rudman Hollingsworth Bill

It was very complexed issue.People of the Balkans ware seduced by some ex political criminals like (Slobodan Milosevic,Franjo Tudjman, Alija Izetbegovic etc.) later selfproclaimed as national heroes,and fathers of their nations.All of this was strongly supported by some foreign secret services like CIA and ex KGB, so their Country's can have more influence on the Balkans.The above mention't so-called Patriots make also very big blood profit billions of dollars worth.All of them died without tacking any responsibility for their actions.Even Milosevic was taken on trial in Den Hag and he never lived to be convicted. This is the basic truth about wars in Balkans and many people not gonna like this because they still believe in their repressionist's as a Patriots.

Yes. Not only did Yanayev and the team of hardline Communists fail to take over the government, but the failure of the coup led directly to the collapse of the USSR - the very thing they'd wanted to prevent.
