Nuclear War: A Scenario by Annie Jacobsen
4.0
No one wins in a nuclear event! That is the most important - and only - point of the book. A few simple moments of insanity would send the world into complete annihilation - and there would be NOTHING anyone could do to retract it.
In great detail, Jacobson lays out a false scenario of what this destruction could look like. There is literally no time to weigh the pros and cons…decisions are made in mere moments, and the reality is that each decision made will only escalate the situation further.
While this book is certainly scary, what was even more terrifying to think about is WHO we are going to elect in November to be in charge of these decisions. The President of the US is the ONLY person who carries the codes to our entire nuclear weapons arsenal; therefore, it is imperative to have a leader that is not only rational and calm in chaos, but someone who understands foreign policy and can maintain peace among all countries - especially the volatile ones.
The world is literally riding on the outcome of the 2024 election. Are we going to send the world a message of hope, peace, and stability or weakness, chaos, and ineptitude - leaving us more and more vulnerable to attack at the days go by?
