The Continuing Storm: Iraq, Poisonous Weapons, and Deterrence (1999) By Avigdor Haselkorn
Haselkorn's step-by-step narrative -- in which he reviews the events of the war with Iraq, examines the intelligence and planning during the war, discusses why Pres. Bush (Sr.) abruptly terminated it, and analyzes the strategic consequences -- is frightening. The war was not the high-tech victory that many Americans perceive, but a nearly catastrophic event. Focuses on the role played by biological and chemical weapons and scrutinizes the dynamics of deterrence. Supplies the grim facts about anthrax, botulism toxin, and poison gases and traces the terror of their use. Pres. Bush had little choice about ending the war when he did, given the failure of U.S. intelligence and severe flaws in strategic planning. B&W photos.
