As former head of the UN鈥檚 biological weapons inspectorate in Iraq, Richard
Butler knows more than anyone else about Saddam Hussein鈥檚 biological weapons
programme. In The Greatest Threat, he blames the UN鈥檚 failure as much
on Western politicians as Iraqi intransigence. It is a good story, though his
claim that Saddam has again built up a credible arsenal and is preparing to use
it never really stands up. Published by Public Affairs, New York, $26,
