In the wake of the 2003 Iraq War, the term 'intelligence failure'
became synonymous with the Blair Government and how it had used
intelligence to construct a case for war. This book examines
British secret intelligence over the thirty years preceding its
very public failings. From the Soviet Union to South Africa and
Libya, Mark Wilkinson provides a detailed analysis and vivid
account of the development and functioning of Britain's
intelligence agencies in the struggle against the proliferation of
chemical and biological weapons. Based on archival research and
interviews with key players in the intelligence establishment, he
shows how a handful of chemical and biological weapons experts
battled to make their voices heard. They had evidence that illegal
weapons development was taking place but were continually rebuffed
by adversaries in Whitehall. Fascinating, surprising and sometimes
shocking, Before Intelligence Failed is a compelling account of
what was known about chemical and biological weapons proliferation
before the Iraq War.
