Nuclear Crisis: The Escalation of the Cold War

This documentary examines the nuclear brinkmanship of the Cold War, when the doctrine of mutually assured destruction kept the world on edge. It explores how the United States, Russia and China built arsenals capable of ending civilisation. The film connects that history to today's renewed superpower tensions. Sobering and relevant, it takes a close look at the balance of terror. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
