A Short History Of Nuclear Folly by Rudolph Herzog
In the spirit of Dr. Strangelove and The Atomic Caf©, Rudolph Herzog has here created a bleakly sardonic catalogue of atomic blunders and nuclear near-misses revealing the hushed-up and forgotten episodes in which the great powers have gambled with catastrophe. Rudolph Herzog is already well known as the historian behind the popular history title Dead Funny, which looked at humour in Nazi Germany. Now, he turns to the archives once again to produce an account that will raise important questions on international nuclear policy.
Rudolph Herzog is an award-winning writer and director. His BBC/ARD documentary on humor in Hitler's Third Reich became the basis of DEAD FUNNY named a book of the year by THE ATLANTIC. His second book, the critically acclaimed SHORT HISTORY OF NUCLEAR FOLLY was later made into a documentary that streamed on Netflix. He is the son of acclaimed filmmaker Werner Herzog. Emma Rault is a translator from the German. She lives in Los Angeles.
