Chemical Disarmament and U. S. Security

Booknews

The Center for Strategic and International Studies presents an enthusiastic, almost effusive, account of how George Bush can implement and enforce an international ban on chemical weapons. Mentions Iraq and Libya frequently, but less frequently notes Bush's vetoes of such proposals; the refusal of the U.S. to sign previous treaties; and the government's continued production of chemical weapons. The 12 reports were delivered at a conference in Washington in July 1991. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
