Free Audio Book : Nuclear War, by Annie Jacobsen

In every era, a journalist has delved into the core of the nuclear military establishment: the technologies, the safeguards, the strategies, and the dangers. These inquiries are crucial to our comprehension of the actual world we inhabit—a world where one nuclear missile will provoke a retaliatory strike, and where the orchestration of the world’s demise necessitates monumental decisions made in a matter of seconds with information that is only as reliable as our intelligence.

Annie Jacobsen, a Pulitzer Prize finalist, delves into this race-against-time scenario in her book, Nuclear War: A Scenario. Based on numerous exclusive new interviews with military and civilian experts who have constructed the weapons, have had access to the response plans, and would have been responsible for making those decisions if necessary. Nuclear War: A Scenario scrutinizes the few minutes following a nuclear missile launch. It is a must-read, unparalleled in its depth and urgency.
