Detailed survey shows how France's strategic deterrence evolves in the 1990s to the present with renewed nuclear forces, advanced aircraft, and submarines shaping future defense. This period has been one of turbulence, with the initial peace dividend transitioning to a new era of strategic competition as old adversaries reemerge and new adversaries arise, alongside a proliferation of new technologies. Where, on the diplomatic front, the foreign policy of Paris supports international agreements, notably the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, credibility and legitimacy remain the main axis of the military defence policy. This volume provides a detailed illustrated survey of France's nuclear ballistic submarines, Mirage 2000 and Rafale fighter-bombers, imposing aircraft carriers, and computerized intelligence and command centres, taking the story of these forces from 1990 to the present and a projected future up to the end of this century. Volume 2 of A Sword for Peace and Liberty details the adaptation of the French nuclear strike forces to this challenging period to maintain a constant strategy of deterrence, the renewal of France's nuclear force, and how this will be projected into the remainder of the twenty-first the century with a new generation of fighter-bombers, submarines and missiles. This work is illustrated throughout with original photographs and includes the @War series' signature specially commissioned colour artworks and profiles.
