H Bomb: The Cold War Weapon That Could Wipe out All Life

This documentary examines the hydrogen bomb and the Cold War doctrine of mutually assured destruction that held the world in a fragile balance of terror. It looks at how the United States, Russia and China built weapons capable of ending civilisation, and why that shadow still hangs over global politics today. Drawing on the history of the arms race, it weighs the strategy, the fear and the near misses. Sobering and informative, it makes the stakes of nuclear power impossible to ignore.
