If you haven't read it, Biohazard is a really good book about the Soviet Bioweapons program. Terrifying. But it speaks to the science that goes into engineering diseases, and what some of these diseases were post-engineering, including the bureaucracy within the departments and the absolute ineptitude with them. It speaks about a few known leaks that happened too. I used to think it was totally impossible, but after reading that book it became a lot more plausible.
