mclynd's review against another edition
5.0
If I could title this read it would be: "Riveting and Terrifying Insight into Nuclear War"
Annie Jacobsen's "Nuclear War" is a riveting and terrifying read that exposes just how close we are to a catastrophic misunderstanding or mistake that could trigger a nuclear war, ending mankind. Her deep insights and meticulous research lend the book immense legitimacy, evoking an uneasy sense of our vulnerability. The terrifying revelation that FEMA is unprepared and that nuclear missiles cannot be recalled once launched is a wake-up call. Jacobsen's intent to incite change and awareness is evident throughout. A must-read for its compelling and urgent message. Great read!

One of the most gripping nonfiction books I've ever read. It was almost impossible to put down, and I devoured this book in almost one sitting. Really amazing stuff. We are really screwed if we don't universally disarm.
