'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.
