Annie Jacobsen: "Nuclear War"

About this episode

There is only one scenario other than an asteroid strike that could end the world as we know it in a matter of hours: nuclear war. And one of the triggers for that war would be a nuclear missile inbound toward the United States. Pulitzer Prize finalist Annie Jacobsen’s Nuclear War: A Scenario explores this ticking-clock scenario, based on dozens of exclusive new interviews with military and civilian experts who have built the weapons, have been privy to the response plans, and have been responsible for those decisions should they have needed to be made. Listen to her conversation with Michael now. Original air date 1 August 2024. The book was published on 26 March 2024. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
