The Golden Compass is the first volume. Pullman is the author. Pay no attention to the movie - regardless of how that turns out the book is quite good.

There's nothing wrong with what Yueh did under the circumstances, just the whole common knowledge Spoiler: misconception of the incorruptibility of a Suk Doctor was something Thufir should have been able to disabuse Leto of, regardless of Jessica being dragged across his sights.
In Yueh's place, I would have Spoiler: tried to kill DeVries - probably gone to Leto to do it, possibly sucked the Harkonnens into an ambush.... Yueh knew what he bought, and I got the sense that Piter had Wanna killed as soon as Yueh was committed to action. Between a rogue Bene Gesserit in Jessica and a mentat in Thufir and captains like Halleck and Idaho, I think the tables could have been turned if it had been caught early, Cousin Corrino notwithstanding.
