- More about Deconstructing Dr. Strangelove: The Secret History of Nuclear War Films
Dr. Strangelove, a Cold War crisis film, became a cultural touchstone and was viewed as a satire on nuclear issues and Cold War thinking. However, subsequent generations viewed it as a quasi-documentary about an unfathomable secret world. Sean M. Maloney investigates this contradiction by analyzing the films and comparing them to reality, revealing new insights into the genre and the deterrent system.

Dr. Strangelove, a cultural touchstone from 1964, was seen as a satire on nuclear issues and Cold War thinking by the duck-and-cover generation. Subsequent generations viewed it as a quasi-documentary about an unfathomable secret world. Sean M. Maloney uses Dr. Strangelove and other genre classics to investigate a curious pop cultural contradiction: nuclear crisis films repeatedly portrayed the failures of the Cold War's deterrent system, yet the system worked. Maloney blends film analysis with Cold War history to examine how the celluloid crises stack up against reality, casting new light on Dr. Strangelove, one of the Cold War era's defining films.
