    Clayton R KoppesARTICLEPacific Historical Review2012

    George F. Kennan is renowned as the author of the containment doctrine and subsequently as a critic of American Cold War policy.

    From the synchronised camera/machine-guns on the biplanes of World War One to the laser satellites of Star Wars, the technologies of cinema and warfare have developed a fatal interdependence. Hiroshima marked one conclusion of this process in the nuclear 'flash' which penetrated the city's darkest recesses, etching the images of its victims on the walls.
