Nuclear War: A Scenario by Annie Jacobsen

dark emotional informative tense fast-paced

5.0

Easily one of the most terrifying books I’ve read. Appearing to be very well researched, I did take the time to read through the notes on each part and the bibliography and the amount of sources from the last 2-4 years is alarming to think about considering it ties all the way back to the end of WWII around the mid 1900s and is still a pertinent topic heavily discussed/researched from experts in several fields. This is one book I will definitely never forget.
