Biological War: A Scenario
by Annie Jacobsen
Annie Jacobsen follows her bestselling Nuclear War: A Scenario with Biological War: A Scenario, a nonfiction hour-by-hour account of how a pandemic-grade pathogen could break government response before help arrives. Built on real interviews with the officials who would run that response, it reads like national security reporting with a thriller's momentum.
Nuclear War: A Scenario
by Annie Jacobsen
Annie Jacobsen reconstructs what happens after a single nuclear launch, minute by minute, from the first detection to the full cascade. The reporting is meticulous and the effect is genuinely terrifying: she shows exactly how little time, and how few people, stand between civilization and its end.
