Dr Strangelove and the real Doomsday Machine

Christopher Coker has written a very positive review of Doomsday Men (“the gripping, untold story of the ultimate weapon of mass destruction”) for this week’s Times Literary Supplement. He writes:
In his film Dr Strangelove, Stanley Kubrick did for the Cold War what he had done for space in 2001: he intensified it, thereby making it more theatrical and at the same time giving it more depth. It is easily the funniest movie made about global thermo-nuclear war, and Strangelove seems not to have lost its bite, even though we think (mistakenly) that we have escaped the nuclear age.
