Pulitzer Prize finalist Annie Jacobsen uses nuclear weapons knowledge gleaned from declassified documents and expert interviews to describe the first minutes of a full-scale nuclear weapons exchange between the USA and Russia; and then the last hours and weeks of the world as humans have known it for the past 12,000 years or so.

5 stars
This book offers an eye-opening look at what would happen in the moments following an event that none of us wants to occur. Throughout the entire length of the book, I was absolutely struck by the absurd lengths to which the American and other governments have gone, and are willing to go, to keep their leaders alive. And for what? To rule over the ashes? The billions being spent on facilities, planning, equipment, and staffing to keep someone alive so they can be in charge of the absolute disaster that remains. Assuming anything remains, which it might not. It's abhorent to me that money can be found for this but real, existing and long term problems are met with a threadbare response, if they are met at all.

A book the world should read 😳
5 stars
If you think you already know that nuclear weapons are a nightmare, you don't. I promise you.
Read this book. Then tell everyone you know about it. Call and write your representatives in government, ask them to read it.
Then ask them to work to rid the world of this nightmare before it ends us all.
