Can highly recommend Ken Alibek's book about the Russian biological warfare programme "Biohazard". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Alibek

NIH has a short history of biowarfare, the first date in Table 1 is 1155, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1326439/

What is it you recommend about it?

Goes into detail about all of the Soviet bioweapons programmes, from someone who was quite near the top (I think he was deputy director). It's scary as hell.
