Most anti-nuclear advocates thought that arguing that a nuclear war was winnable only made one more likely. An official of the entertaining American Friends Service Committee compared Kahn to Adolf Eichmann, and he became one of the movement’s favorite monsters. His house was picketed. The best-known response to “On Thermonuclear War” was a movie. Stanley Kubrick began reading intensively on entertaining nuclear strategy soon after he finished directing “Lolita,” in entertaining 1962. His original plan was to make a realistic thriller. One of his working titles was taken from an article by Wohlstetter in Foreign Affairs, in 1959: “The Delicate Balance of Terror” (an article that anticipated many of Kahn’s arguments in “On Thermonuclear War”). But Kubrick could not invent a plausible story in which a nuclear war is started by accident, so he ended up making a comedy, adapted from a novel, by a former R.A.F. officer, called “Red Alert.”
