| | COLIN HUGHES -- REVIEW OF EDWARD TELLER: THE REAL DOCTOR STRANGELOVE BY PETER GOODCHILD -- LOGOS 4.2 SPRING 2005 |
 | | Kubrick’s film, Dr Strangelove (1965), tells the story of a US Air Force Commander, Jack D Ripper, who, convinced that the Commies are contaminating his bodily fluids, orders a nuclear strike on Russia. |
 | | His advisors include Air Force General Buck Turgidson, and a scientist, Dr Strangelove, a ‘Kraut’, confined to a wheelchair, whose right arm, as the tension mounts, involuntarily rises to a Nazi salute, and he addresses the President as ‘Mein Fuhrer’. |
 | | I have dealt with this topic at some length because it is symptomatic of the way in which the author himself sometimes complicates and confuses the issues. |
