Riassunto:

The dramatic and dangerous inside story of the UN Special Commission’s continuing search for Iraq’s secret nuclear, chemical and biological weapons and the cat-and-mouse tactics used by Iraq in a political and military game that threatens to turn into renewed war at any moment.

Evidence that forced Iraq to admit that it had built biological weapons before, during and after the Gulf War.

The author, Tim Trevan, was a key British participant (from 1992 to 1995) in UNSCOM’s investigation of Iraqi chemical and biological sites. In his gripping narrative, he shows how UNSCOM dealt with Iraq’s devious, despotic regime: the early frustrations encountered because of Iraq’s lying and obstruction, the personal and professional qualities the inspectors had to develop, the techniques and technologies they employed, the personal difficulties and dangers of the job, their ingenuity in tackling problems.

The book also shows how the Commission maintained support in a divided UN Security Council long enough to achieve success, despite the ceaseless stream of international crises unleashed by Iraq to try and break the Commission.
