Journalist, Person
Who is Dominique Lorentz?
Dominique Lorentz is a French investigative journalist who has written books on the stakes and reality of nuclear proliferation, as well as a film documentary, La République Atomique, which related terrorist acts in France in the 1980s to the nuclear program of Iran.
Her work details various types of state cooperation over the years, and a systematic analysis of foreign leaders' and analysts' speeches and writings. She mainly analyze open sources in order to put facts in perspective and retrace the thread of the history of nuclear proliferation. Lorentz demonstrates that proliferation is not mainly the work of isolated individuals, but is an explicit result of the geopolitical strategy of various governments. She shows that after World War II, when the United States considered it too dangerous to directly help other countries in developing nuclear technology, it charged France with the job. Thus, France helped other countries in developing nuclear technology, starting with Israel. This, according to Lorentz, explains how 44 states today have the capacity of developing weapons of mass destruction.
