BOOK REVIEWS
The Animal Research War exposes the tactics of animal extremists for what they are - terrorism. The actions of a tiny minority have seriously set back the progress of research aimed at reducing the suffering of people and animals. It is time for scientists, patients and all who abhor the use of terror to stand up for the future of medical research.  -- Sir Colin Blakemore, Chief Executive, Medical Research Council
The Animal Research War makes a compelling case that animal extremism, with its threat to biomedical research and the improvement of human and animal health, is an international problem. -- Christian Bréchot, Director General of the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research
