You know, the nukes are still all there. There might a few less in total numbers, but that's only because they have improved the delivery times and power packed in the latest generation of warheads. Whether by accident (there have been a few close calls) or by political changes to make all out war likely again, this truly was the most dangerous period in human history.
'Winnable' nuclear war ? Holy crap, what would you win ? Watch this low budget movie and decide. It was put together with the technical assistance of scientists such as Carl Sagan (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0755981/) who calculated some of the after effects of an all out exchange.
I am not want for exaggeration, but I find this movie to be truly the most disturbing film ever made and should be mandatory viewing for everyone of voting age. Watch this and than watch the Fog of War (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0317910/).
Especially relevant is the part on the Cuban Missile Crisis.
