Critic Reviews

Michael O'Sullivan

The documentary makes an effective and rather chilling case that there is an almost unbroken chain between Adolf Hitler and Saddam Hussein. Read full review

Elizabeth Weitzman

Enlightening and rather unsettling documentary. Read full review

David Sterritt

Timely, chilling, and grimly instructive. Read full review

V.A. Musetto

Most troubling is just how easy it is to sell nuclear secrets with the help of large corporations and the acquiescence of governments. Read full review

Ronnie Scheib

Jon Dolan
