FRANCE AS A NUCLEAR POWER,
Abstract
The military worth of independent national nuclear strike forces has been strongly questioned, but the French government seems bent upon developing such a force nevertheless. Moreover, a number of continental military analysts have attempted to endow this policy with a theoretical basis. The thesis advanced in this report hinges on the assumption that a nation of less than great power status can acquire a nuclear deterrent of its own effective enough to impress a superpower.
