4.0 out of 5 stars History Channel Quality, April 12, 2011

This review is from: Strategic Air Command (DVD)

This is a no-frills (a single DVD in a flat card sleeve) presentation of a History Channel program from the 'Modern Marvels' series. It outlines the birth, heyday and winding up of the Strategic Air Command - at one time in charge of the entire air-borne and missile component of the US nuclear deterrant. While in no way pretending to be a definitive account of the organization, it is a very watchable account of the SAC's history and the reasons for its existance. With a rather frank and forthright style, and lots of interviews and archive footage of nuclear tests and strategic bombers, it is a good introduction to how the US reacted to the cold war, although a collected set of the entire series would have been better.

A must watch for any student of history who wants to understand how we got to this point in history and how close the world came to self destruction several times during these years of the 20th century.
