Description
"Every generation, a journalist has looked deep into the heart of the nuclear military establishment. 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. 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, been privy to the response plans, and been responsible for those decisions should they have needed to be made. Nuclear War: A Scenario is unlike any other book in its depth and urgency"-- Provided by publisher.
