Jeff Nuttall's Bomb Culture (1968) was an unforgettably idiosyncratic document of Sixties counter-culture, looking at how the nuclear threat that followed World War II had shaped the mass consciousness. This week, Tom Overton talks to Douglas Field (author of All Those Strangers: The Art and Lives of James Baldwin) and Jamie Sutcliffe about Strange Attractor Press' recent reissue of Bomb Culture (http://strangeattractor.co.uk/shoppe/bomb-culture-50th-anniversary-edition/), and Nuttall's place within various Sixties art scenes.
