Críticas
"Krasno and Sutterlin provide a thorough analysis of UNSCOM, the UN Special Commission charged with eliminating weapons of mass destruction in Iraq during 1991-98....deals with fascinating subjects, such as the fact that US U-2 intelligence planes were put under UN authority and control. The comparison between the two heads of UNSCOM--Rolf Ekeus of Sweden and Richard Butler of Australia--is also highly interesting. Building on books by some of the individuals involved--such as Butler, Scott Ritter, and Tim Trevan--this study provides much useful information not only on Iraq's weapons policy under Saddam Hussein, but also on the UN system and foreign policy. Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above."-Choice "Krasno and Sutterin, both political scientists at Yale, offer an in-depth study of the United Nations' Special Commision (UNSCOM) and its efforts to find and eliminate Iraq's weapons of mass destruction in the 1990s....for those interested in assessing for themselves the role of UNSCOM's work, this is balanced and enlightening."-Publishers Weekly ?Krasno and Sutterin, both political scientists at Yale, offer an in-depth study of the United Nations' Special Commision (UNSCOM) and its efforts to find and eliminate Iraq's weapons of mass destruction in the 1990s....for those interested in assessing for themselves the role of UNSCOM's work, this is balanced and enlightening.?-Publishers Weekly ?Krasno and Sutterlin provide a thorough analysis of UNSCOM, the UN Special Commission charged with eliminating weapons of mass destruction in Iraq during 1991-98....deals with fascinating subjects, such as the fact that US U-2 intelligence planes were put under UN authority and control.

Reseña del editor
Following the Gulf War from 1991 to 1998, the United Nations Special Commission (UNSCOM) was created to unveil and eliminate Iraq's weapons of mass destruction through inspections. This study describes how UNSCOM was designed to maintain its independence and authority, detailing the dramatic events that occurred as UNSCOM attempted to deal with an intransigent Iraq. Krasno and Sutterlin outline the special intelligence skills that UNSCOM developed over the years in response to Iraqi tactics. They also provide an accounting of UNSCOM achievements and analyze remaining concerns. Along with documentary research, much of the information in this book was obtained through a series of interviews with key players, including the Executive Directors, several UNSCOM inspectors, and a number of ambassadors to the United Nations who were directly involved. Concerns about Iraq's remaining weapons capabilities, particularly its biological and chemical weapons, have become increasingly relevant since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and the ensuing anthrax threat. This study provides insight about the disarming of Iraq, as well what lessons can be learned from the UNSCOM experiment.
