Saddam's Secrets : The Hunt For Iraq's Hidden Weapons
(Tim Trevan)
The timely and gripping inside story of one of the most dramatic and dangerous detective investigations in international history, told by a leading participant : how the UN weapons inspectors uncovered Iraq?s clandestine nuclear, chemical and biological weapons programmes and exposed the culture of deceit at the heart of Saddam Hussein?s regime.
In a lucid and authoritative that begins with the creation of the UN Special Commission for Iraq (UNSCOM) out of the ashes of the Gulf War, Tim Trevan ? a British expert on biological warfare and strategist and spokesman for the Commission ? describes the cat-and-mouse tactics employed against a master of brinkmanship and a merciless opponent who had not heisted to use chemical weapons against both Iran stonewalling, intimidation, obstruction and death threats, yet, under their formidable Swedish chairman Rolf Ekeus, they devised a strategy to defeat Iraq?s repeated attempts to divide the Security Council, and set up a foolproof monitoring system which, if maintained, would detect Iraqi efforts at rebuilding its banned weapons programme
