Project Coast: Apartheid's Chemical and Biological Warfare Programme

Project Coast was the codename for a covert programme, established by the South African apartheid government in 1981, to develop a range of chemical and biological agents intended for use against opponents of the regime within and outside the state. This book examines the history of the project, its operation outside ordinary political, military and financial controls, through to its eventual demise in 1995. It draws on information made public at the Truth and Reconciliation Commission hearings, as well as evidence presented at the criminal trial of Dr Wouter Basson, the project's director.Gould, Chandre is the author of 'Project Coast: Apartheid's Chemical and Biological Warfare Programme', published 2003 under ISBN 9789290451440 and ISBN 9290451440.
