By Annie Jacobsen

Qu ocurrir a si un misil nuclear se dirigiera a Estados Unidos?

«Un thriller geopol tico desde muchas perspectivas y con un cron metro que te cortar la respiraci n . --Forbes

Solo hay un escenario, aparte del impacto de un asteroide, capaz de acabar con el mundo tal como lo conocemos en cuesti n de horas: una guerra nuclear.

Hasta ahora, nadie fuera de los c rculos oficiales ha sabido con exactitud qu suceder a si un estado rebelde lanzara una cabeza nuclear contra el Pent gono. Segundo a segundo y minuto a minuto, estos son los acontecimientos, acciones y protocolos reales que coreograf an el fin de la civilizaci n.

Las decisiones que afectan a miles de millones de vidas deben tomarse en seis minutos a partir de informaci n incompleta y parcial, y a sabiendas de que, una vez se ejecuten, nada es capaz de detener la destrucci n. A partir de docenas de entrevistas con expertos militares y civiles que han construido estas armas, que han formado parte de la creaci n de los planes de respuesta y que deben asumir la responsabilidad de las decisiones cruciales, la finalista del Premio Pulitzer Annie Jacobsen logra el m s fidedigno y escalofriante relato de las consecuencias definitivas de una Guerra nuclear.

"In Nuclear War: A Scenario, Annie Jacobsen gives us a vivid picture of what could happen if our nuclear guardians fail...Terrifying."--Wall Street Journal

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.

Every generation, a journalist has looked deep into the heart of the nuclear military establishment: the technologies, the safeguards, the plans, and the risks. These investigations are vital to how we understand the world we really live in--where one nuclear missile will beget one in return, and where the choreography of the world's end requires massive decisions made on seconds' notice with information that is only as good as the intelligence we have.

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. Nuclear War: A Scenario examines the handful of minutes after a nuclear missile launch. It is essential reading, and unlike any other book in its depth and urgency.
