Nuclear War: A Scenario
Description
Drawing on interviews with military experts, scientists, and policymakers, this gripping work traces the consequences of a single nuclear missile launch from the first warning through the terrifying chain of decisions that follows. Presented in real time, it explores the pressures facing leaders, the limits of missile defense, and the devastating human and geopolitical costs of nuclear escalation. Rigorous yet intensely readable, the book offers a sobering examination of modern warfare, deterrence, and the fragile systems meant to prevent catastrophe.
