"In an exclusive interview with Inside Cover, former UNSCOM weapons inspector Scott Ritter said on [11 October 1999] that he doubts Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein has launched a West Nile virus bio-terror attack on New York City.... Ritter said: 'The Iraqis did do work on vaccines for a variety of things like West Nile encephalitis. But that was a standard protective measure. There's no evidence that they ever tried to convert that into an offensive program.'"

Newton, Verne W. The Cambridge Spies: The Untold Story of Maclean, Philby, and Burgess in America. New York: Madison Books, 1990. Lanham, MD: University Press of America, 1991. Lanham, MD: Madison, 1993. [pb]

Surveillant 1.5 notes that the author "covers exciting new ground by focusing on the American side of the story" from 1944 to 1951. Bamford, NYTBR, 30 Jun. 1991, sees this U.S. flavor to the story as "what separates this book ... from other books on the British scandal." He finds The Cambridge Spies to be both "interesting and well- researched."

To Kerr, I&NS 9.1, the title is a "rather odd choice" since the book is largely about Maclean. This is a "very worthy effort," but is "flawed in both conception and execution.... [He] reduces the motives of three very different individuals into just one disreputable motive: they became Soviets agents because they were impelled by an addiction to the drug of deceit."

According to Carver, IJI&C 5.1, "Newton's conclusion that Maclean was far more valuable to the Soviets than either Burgess or Philby is hard to fault." However, the author "sometimes gets carried away with his argument and indulges in overkill," and several of his "best quotations ... are completely unsourced."

Goulden, IJI&C 6.2, says this is "the most comprehensive account to date of the damage done by the three British traitors.... The book will be of value and interest even to buffs familiar with the plethora of earlier studies."

Powers, NYRB (13 May 1993) and Intelligence Wars (2004), 295-320, takes note of Newton's argument "that Maclean knew the [U.S. nuclear] arsenal was empty and told the KGB," and adds that "Stalin's eerie confidence while his minions seized power in Czechoslovakia and his armies risked war by closing the highways to Berlin strongly suggests that Newton was right. Maclean's information may thus have changed history."

For Charles, I&NS 15.2, this is "a work short on evidence but long on speculation.... The author is prone to supposition in attributing specific intelligence success to Donald Maclean."
