Inspector A was a leading chief inspector with the OPCW, the UN chemical weapons watchdog. He deployed all around the world for twelve years, but found things came to a head after his involvement in contentious missions to Syria. Inspectors objected to what they saw as clear political interference after their investigation of the tragic incident in Douma in April 2018.

In The Syria Scam, Inspector A describes exactly what happened following the controversial Douma allegation, after the punitive missile strikes carried out by the US, UK and France before any investigation had started. He relates this to his other experiences in Syria and in the political machinations around the Syrian chemical weapons dossier.

For the first time, an insider takes the reader through a scrutiny of the facts and science around the allegations of chemical weapons use in Syria. The reader is invited to make his or her own judgement about what really happened.

He left in 2005 to continue a career in the chemical industry.He joined the OPCW again in 2016 as part of the "rehire" scheme, aimed at bringing back experienced inspectors. He soon saw signs of the Syrian chemical weapons narrative being politicised. Inspectors started objecting but got nowhere.Along with his UN passport, Inspector A has cheerfully carried British, South African and Australian passports. He wishes people would be honest and do the right thing, even in geopolitics. He knows this is na?ve, nonetheless tried in two UN Security Council meetings to get his story across. He failed, gave up and wrote this book.
