Arguing that previous critiques of rational choice and deterrence theory are not convincing, Frank Harvey constructs a new set of empirical tests of rational deterrence theory to illuminate patterns of interaction between rival nuclear powers. He analyses the crisis management techniques used by the United States and the Soviet Union in twenty-eight post-war crises and isolates factors that promote or inhibit escalation of these crises. This "crises"-based data set serves as the basis for identifying patterns of response when one nuclear state is threatened by another. The Future's Back offers new directions for testing that emphasize a more unified approach to theory building and assesses the feasibility of alternative courses of action to prevent escalation of future disputes characterized by nuclear rivalry.

Lorsqu'il revient au pouvoir en 1958, le général de Gaulle s'empresse de confirmer le programme atomique militaire lancé dans le plus grand secret par la IVe République. C'est ainsi qu'il peut faire procéder à la première explosion d'une bombe atomique expérimentale française le 13 février 1960. L'origine de ce processus remonte à la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, à une époque où l'énergie nucléaire apparait comme une menace terrifiante, mais aussi comme l'un des moteurs de la reconstruction et de la renaissance du pays. A partir d'archives et de témoignages inédits, l'auteur retrace ici une histoire qui a rassemblé des hommes visionnaires et qui a bénéficié d'une remarquable continuité. Une histoire qui reste encore largement méconnue même par les Français...
