Bibliography:
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Summary:
"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 projects are vital to how we understand the world we really live in: where one
nuclear
missile begets one in return; 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. Annie Jacobsen's book explores this
scenario
, based on dozens of interviews with military and civilian experts who have built the weapons; created the response plans; and been responsible for those decisions should they need to have been made."
Annie Jacobsen is the author of the Pulitzer Prize finalist in history The Pentagon’s Brain, the New York Times bestsellers Area 51 and Operation Paperclip, and other books. She was a contributing editor at the Los Angeles Times Magazine. A graduate of Princeton University, she lives in Los Angeles with her husband and two sons. Jacobsen's books have been named Best of the Year and Most Anticipated by outlets including The Washington Post, USA Today, The Boston Globe, Apple, and Amazon. Coverage has ranged from The New York Times to Joe Rogan’s podcast.
