Pulitzer Prize Finalist Annie Jacobsen
Monday, September 9 - 6:30 PM
Join Pulitzer Prize finalist and author Annie Jacobsen, who will discuss her newest book, Nuclear War: A Scenario. In this harrowing, engrossing read, Jacobsen examines the ticking-clock scenario of what would unfold in the seconds, minutes, and hours following the launch of a nuclear attack against the United States, and in so doing, exposes what the government and military do not want to the public to understand about the current state of nuclear weapons. This program is generously funded by the The Perry Noe STEAM Programming Fund.
As global tensions mount, the only way to truly understand the headlines is to realize we are never far from the trigger that could end the world. 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 the decisions should they have needed to be made, Nuclear War: A Scenario takes readers behind the curtain with never-before publicly reported details.
