“In Nuclear War: A Scenario, Annie Jacobsen gives us a vivid picture of what could happen if our nuclear guardians fail…Terrifying.”—Wall Street Journal
There is only one scenario other than an asteroid strike that could end the world as we know it in a matter of hours: nuclear war. And one of the triggers for that war would be a nuclear missile inbound toward the United States.
Every generation, a journalist has looked deep into the heart of the nuclear military establishment: the technologies, the safeguards, the plans, and the risks. These investigations are vital to how we understand the world we really live in—where one nuclear missile will beget one in return, and where the choreography of the world’s end requires massive decisions made on seconds’ notice with information that is only as good as the intelligence we have.
Pulitzer Prize finalist Annie Jacobsen’s Nuclear War: A Scenario explores this ticking-clock scenario, based on dozens of exclusive new interviews with military and civilian experts who have built the weapons, have been privy to the response plans, and have been responsible for those decisions should they have needed to be made. Nuclear War: A Scenario examines the handful of minutes after a nuclear missile launch. It is essential reading, and unlike any other book in its depth and urgency.

How did a libertine who lacks even the most basic knowledge of the Christian faith win 81 percent of the white evangelical vote in 2016? And why have white evangelicals become a presidential reprobate's staunchest supporters? Jesus and John Wayne is a sweeping account of the last 75 years of white evangelicalism, showing how American evangelicals have worked for decades to replace the Jesus of the Gospels with an idol of rugged masculinity and Christian nationalism.

Near the end of the Second World War, the United States made a bold strategic gambit that rewired the international system. Empires were abolished and replaced by a global arrangement enforced by the U.S. Navy. With all the world's oceans safe for the first time in history, markets and resources were made available for everyone. Enemies became partners. We think of this system as normal—it is not. We live in an artificial world on borrowed time.

The War on Warriors uncovers the deep roots of our dysfunction—a society that has forgotten the men who take risks, cut through red tape, and get their hands dirty. The only kind of men prepared to face the dangers that the Left pretends don’t exist. Unlike issues of education or taxes or crime, this problem doesn’t have a zip code solution. We can’t move away from it. We can’t avoid it. We have only one Pentagon. Either we take it back or surrender it altogether.

Ce que les critiques en disent
“Gripping . . . essential if you want to understand the complex and disturbing details that go into a civilization-destroying decision to drop the Bomb on an enemy. . . . Jacobsen has done her homework. She has spent more than a decade interviewing dozens of experts while mastering the voluminous literature on the subject, some of it declassified only in recent years.”—New York Times Book Review
“Timeless, masterful. . .A stomach-clenching, multi-perspective, ticking-clock, geopolitical thriller. Jacobsen expertly delivers a madman’s portrait of Armageddon, one made all the more impactful by the thought that it could literally occur at any moment. Almost novel-like in its presentation, Nuclear War: A Scenario represents the equivalent of an existential gut punch, a sickening and necessary reminder of how fragile every 21st century convenience becomes in the face of a blinding flash of light and near-instantaneous shockwave. Exhaustively researched and featuring interviews with professionals who truly understand just how close we continue to creep toward thermonuclear annihilation Nuclear War: A Scenario should be required reading for everyone alive today, especially for the politicians and policymakers who literally hold the precarious fate of our species in their hands.”—Forbes
“At once methodical and vivid. In documenting the minutiae of the apocalypse, the writing is redolent of 'Hiroshima', a seminal article by John Hersey published in the New Yorker in 1946.”—The Economist

Incredibly effective in its goal
I’ve had a sick feeling for a few days since absorbing this book. I feel ‘absorbing’ is the appropriate term because most people, myself included, are completely ignorant of the fact that every day we are here is due purely to luck. Everything, literally everything, can all be gone in a few hours.

very detailed and well researched yet still hard to believe.
It's interesting, but I felt that it takes the scenario to an extreme that is hard to believe.
In particular, when discussing the impacts of an EMP attack, the author makes claims about how systems such as elevators in high rose buildings would be impacted, and they clearly did not research these details as they have made inaccurate claims. While there is chance of total apocalyptic full nuclear exchange, it's more likely that more of the systems will not operate as expected when so much of its reliability is counting on humans to behave as predicted.
The idea that the US or Russia would launch everything in their nuclear arsenals at each other when the initial attack came out of the blue and both sides know it was a third-party is very hard to swallow. Facts of continuity of government, and launch control mechanisms are very interesting and sources are credible.
I rate this 4 out of 5.

nuclear winter chilling
The story is so gripping and likely based on a lot of research and hard work. Really had no idea that NK could cause so much damage or even that a single nuclear missile can be so devastating. It's really an eye opener as to why so much power to destroy should not be in anyone's control especially a madman. I won't lie, the consequences written here are much more dire than I ever imagined and I can't believe at any point in the last 80 years since the development of nuclear weapons we were even remotely close to a total annihilation. Hope whoever's in charge sees this book and realizes it.

Mandatory Reading.
For a step by step, minute by minute, procedural book, I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. At first I thought the authors delivery was a bit monotone, but quickly as the book unfolds, I began to appreciate the directness of the delivery and the facts laid out in it. The obvious amount of research and the qualifications of the subjects, only make this whole book that much more alarming. Highly recommend this, but maybe not for kids.

Sobering, incredible, horrifying
This book really opened my eyes to the horror and frankly, the stupidity of nuclear weapons. The dramatic flare in this story at first I thought a little cheesy but later really enjoyed. It highlighted that even though there are plans in place for nuclear war, nothing will go as planned. An in depth look into the systems in place and what nuclear war really is...an apocalypse that will surely end society and possibly humanity altogether. This book is am incredible read I recommend to anyone. but be warned, you won't get warm butterfly feelings, there are no heros in the apocalypse.

A shocking and poignant account of nuclear war
I grew up in the late Cold War in a house where my brother and I were taught about what to fear about nuclear war. Our father constructed a bomb shelter in the basement and in this time of concern for war we lived and existed. This book brings to life in our modern world what we feared we might experience if war were to happen. In an hour of elapsed time our 21 century world is blown back to the Stone Age. The book provides a chilling reminder of the brutality of dictatorships and the power that leaders of those countries possess. It is a compelling account of the countdown to Armageddon. In literature we have the book On the Beach and in film Dr Strangelove and now this nonfiction work. Hold those that are dear to you close and pray that we never experience what this book tells with precision. All in all an excellent book.
