“In Nuclear War: A Scenario, Annie Jacobsen gives us a vivid picture of what could happen if our nuclear guardians fail…Terrifying.”—Wall Street JournalThere is only one scenario other than an asteroid strike that could end the world as we know it in a matter of hours: nuclear war. And one of the triggers for that war would be a nuclear missile inbound toward the United States.Every generation, a journalist has looked deep into the heart of the nuclear military establishment: the technologies, the safeguards, the plans, and the risks. These investigations are vital to how we understand the world we really live in—where one nuclear missile will beget one in return, and where the choreography of the world’s end requires massive decisions made on seconds’ notice with information that is only as good as the intelligence we have.Pulitzer Prize finalist Annie Jacobsen’s Nuclear War: A Scenario explores this ticking-clock scenario, 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 those decisions should they have needed to be made. Nuclear War: A Scenario examines the handful of minutes after a nuclear missile launch. It is essential reading, and unlike any other book in its depth and urgency.

80年前,中国曾发生过一起涉及英国人的谋杀案,死者为英国外交官年仅19岁的女儿帕梅拉。女孩的尸体在北京福克斯瞭望塔的角落里被发现,血液被全部抽光,胸腔敞露,心脏被挖出,场面极其惨烈。中英警方随即展开调查,但因随后战乱延绵和双方当局的阻挠,案的侦破不断被搁置,凶手逍遥法外。直到75年后,历史学家保罗•法兰奇辗转中外,翻阅了所有案卷,走访了案发地点和相关人员,最终得以为这一桩悬而未决的神秘案件揭秘。这一故事基于存档文件创作,以警察或者医生的视角进行阐释,用感性的笔触描述了一个轻信他人、脆弱无力、却又被吓坏了的年轻女孩。书中身在北京的西方人像一群怪人一样,与只求生活安稳的纯良中国人截然不同。罪恶与光辉并存的奇幻般的时代重现于读者眼前。

★法兰奇不仅成功解决了这起案件,还还原了那个同时充满光明与邪恶的时代。正如读者将会领略到的,那个时代从来都不以沉闷著称。——《经济学人》
