Nuclear War: A Scenario is a 2024 non-fiction book by Pulitzer Prize–nominated American journalist Annie Jacobsen, published by Dutton[1] and Transworld.[2] The book combines historical analysis of U.S. nuclear war planning with a minute-by-minute account of a hypothetical first strike by North Korea against the United States, showing how the conflict escalates to global thermonuclear war within 72 minutes, leading to nuclear winter and 5 billion deaths. The work examines both the historical development of American nuclear doctrine since the 1960s and contemporary protocols that would govern U.S. response to a nuclear attack.
