Richard Smoke (October 21, 1944, Huntingdon, Pennsylvania - May 1995, Sarasota, California) was an American historian and political scientist. He graduated from Harvard University magna cum laude in 1965, and from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with a Ph.D. in political science in 1972. His doctoral thesis was entitled Toward the control of escalation: a historical analysis and his advisor was William W. Kaufmann. A professor of political science, he became the Research Director of the Watson Institute's Center For Foreign Policy Development at Brown University in 1985. He was the co-founder of the Center for Peace and Common Security. An internship at Brown University's Watson Institute for International Studies has been named in his honor. One of the best general books on the postwar history of American security policy that we have now available. Written in clear prose, unencumbered by technical jargon . . . the book provides an analytic historical overview. This text examines the impact of nuclear weaponry on national security issues in the United States. Beginning with the development of the nuclear dilemma in the larger context of the politico-technological developments of recent centuries, this work finishes by covering events that took place from 1985 to 1991, including a detailed discussion of the bilateral reductions in tactical nuclear weapons by the USA and the former USSR, making the material relevant to the post Cold War era.
