The Atomic Cafe: The Book of the Film

The Atomic Cafe (the film) presented a disturbing collection of 1940s and 1950s United States government-issued propaganda films designed to reassure Americans that the atomic bomb was not a threat to their safety.

Beginning with Hiroshima and ending with official footage of a future nuclear holocaust, The Atomic Cafe (the book of the film) takes the reader on a bizarre, rapid-fire tour of an era dedicated to insanity. The Atomic Cafe: The Book of the Film is a hilarious, terrifying and revealing look back at an earlier America.
