WIZARDS 1946-1986 explores the political, military and intellectual forces that have engaged in promoting the reliability of nuclear war as an instrument of U.S government policy since 1945.  In the afterlife, Robert McNamara, John Foster Dulles, and Andrei Gromyko struggle for control over who was responsible for bringing the world to the edge of nuclear oblivion. In doing so, key events of the Cold War are dramatised, including the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the Vietnam War, along with the strategies of successive U.S administrations that brought the world far closer to nuclear holocaust than was ever reported at the time.
