Reviews
Dr. Strangelove or How I Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love the Bomb (1964), by Stephen W. Carson
"Stanley Kubrick brilliantly realized that a subject as appalling and unimaginable as global thermonuclear war needed to be dealt with in the form of satire. ... In the guise of a comedy, this film is a powerful meditation on the nonchalance with which our 'leaders' are ready to sacrifice millions of lives in their games of global power politics."
