LAW’s Thoughts about Todays’ Nuclear World . . .
I have said quite a few times that there are no “experts” where nuclear war is concerned, but author Annie Jacobsen’s comprehensive book Nuclear War: A Scenario about nuclear war and it’s aftermath from “A to Z” comes closer to reality than any other description of nuclear war in today’s world. Everyone should read her book and look through her long and impressive Acknowledgements, Notes, Bob;opgra[hy, and Index, which proves her “expertise” is as close to “Expert” as any other author’s work on “nuclear war”.
I have mentioned her book several times in the history of this daily blog, and will no doubt be mentioning her many more times as the rumble of nuclear war grows louder and closer to reality . . . ~llaw
