Dr. Strangelove's America: Society/Cutlture in Atomic Age Hardcover - 1997
by Margot A. Henriksen
From the rear cover
Dr. Strangelove's America is finely researched and elegantly written. Henriksen delineates far better than anyone else the central and crucial role of the bomb in postwar American culture, particularly in the cultural rebellion of the 1960s and in the changed forms of cultural expression." --Harvard Sitkoff, author of The Struggle for Black Equality, 1954-1992
"An enormously creative book. . . . Henriksen is doing more than writing about the reaction to the atomic bomb. She really is writing a kind of cultural history of the Atomic Age." --Allan M. Winkler, author of The Atom and American Life

FROM THE PUBLISHER - Did America really learn to 'stop worrying and love the bomb,' as the title of Stanley Kubrick's 1964 film, Dr. Strangelove, would have us believe?
