Description

Experience a gripping, minute-by-minute account of the events following a radar blip in this bestselling non-fiction thriller. Shortlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize, Annie Jacobsen provides an edge-of-your-seat exploration of what a nuclear war would actually look like. This book is perfect for readers who enjoyed American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer. This work has been praised by major publications for its intense pacing and realism. Forbes describes it as a stomach-clenching, multi-perspective, ticking-clock, geopolitical thriller. The Sunday Times calls it dangerously plausible, while the Telegraph notes the scenes feel like they are straight out of Dr. Strangelove. If you are looking for a high-stakes narrative that reads like a thriller but is rooted in non-fiction, this Penguin publication is a must-read for your collection.
