About “Nuclear War: A Scenario”
Nuclear War: A Scenario is a 2024 non-fiction book by Annie Jacobsen, a Pulitzer Prize–nominated American journalist. Published by Dutton and Transworld, the book combines historical analysis of U.S. nuclear war planning with a detailed hypothetical account of a first strike by North Korea against the United States. It describes how a nuclear conflict could escalate to global thermonuclear war within 72 minutes, resulting in nuclear winter and 5 billion deaths. The book also explores the development of American nuclear doctrine since the 1960s and the protocols that would guide the U.S. response to a nuclear attack.
