Nuclear War: A Scenario

Rating: 5.0 / 5 · Read · Finished 2024-06-26
Superbly researched, insanely detailed, gripping narrative. The author interviewed tons of insiders from the military and government, then arranged it into a plausible scenario, broken down by minute and even by second. Almost every detail is backed up by precedent or quotes from interviews. The end result is horrifying but also weirdly fascinating. Spoiler: pretty much everyone dies.
