Dr. Strangelove (Novelization of the 1964 Film) - HC w/DJ 1st PRINT 1998

Description: "Dr. Strangelove Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb" by Peter George - 1st EDITION 1st PRINT Hardcover w/Dustjacket - Published in 1998 by Barnes & Noble - 162 pages (with many great black & white stills from the Columbia Pictures film directed by Stanley Kubrick) - both book and DJ are in NEAR MINT condition. Dr. Strangelove is one of the boldest anti-war statements of all time--a darkly satirical vision of the Cold War & of military prowess lethally fueled by human stupidity. The novel's characters are indelible: the commie-hating, redneck pilot, Major Kong; the wildly paranoiac, nuclear-assault launching General Ripper; &, of course, Dr. Strangelove, the sinister, wheelchair-bound, ex-Nazi scientist, for whom world destruction is the only bang big enough to satisfy. A landmark film of genius by Stanley Kubrick, Dr. Strangelove was widely hailed as a cinematic masterpiece. Rarely have human folly, vanity and selfishness been portrayed so sharply on screen. The film was a huge critical and box office success and its influence, as one of the best cult movies of all time, remains just as powerful today. The film was based on the original novel Red Alert by Peter George, a former flight lieutenant in the RAF. Now the author has himself novelized the nightmarish comedy that emerged from the final screenplay by Stanley Kubrick, Terry Southern and himself. With a generous selection of stills from the film, Peter George's novel allows us to enjoy the wit, suspense and terror from a fresh perspective. Again, this book is in NEAR MINT condition.
