Summary:
"America lost 1.4 million citizens in the
North
Korean
attacks
of March
2020
. This is the final, authorized
report
of the US government
commission
charged with investigating the calamity. 'The skies over the
Korean
Peninsula on March 21,
2020
, were clear and blue.' So begins this sobering
report
on the findings of the
Commission
on the
Nuclear
Attacks
against
the
United
States
, established by law by Congress and President Donald J. Trump to investigate the horrific events of the next three days. An independent, bipartisan panel led by
nuclear
expert Jeffrey Lewis, the
commission
was charged with finding and reporting the relevant facts, investigating how the
nuclear
war began, and determining whether our government was adequately prepared for combating a
nuclear
adversary and safeguarding U.S. citizens. Did President Trump and his advisers understand
North
Korean
views about
nuclear
weapons? Did they appreciate the dangers of provoking the country's ruler with social media posts and military exercises? Did the tragic milestones of that fateful month--North Korea's accidental shoot-down of Air Busan flight 411, the retaliatory strike by South Korea, and the tweet that triggered vastly more carnage--inevitably lead to war? Or did America's leaders have the opportunity to avert the greatest calamity in the history of our nation? Answering these questions will not bring back the lives lost in March
2020
. It will not rebuild New York, Washington, or the other cities reduced to rubble. But at the very least, it might prevent a tragedy of this magnitude from occurring again. It is this hope, more than any other, that inspired The
2020
Commission
Report
