Baillie Gifford Prize

Read Smart: Annie Jacobsen

05 Nov 2024

Description

Tune into our next 'In Conversation' podcast, where we chat to Annie Jacobsen, who has been shortlisted for the prize this year with Nuclear War: A Scenario. Jacobsen’s book explores the chilling minute-by-minute protocols that would unfold if a rogue state launched a nuclear missile at the United States and is a gripping exploration of nuclear conflict, sparking crucial discussions on global security. Drawing from dozens of new interviews with military and civilian experts who have designed the weapons, been involved in response planning, and shouldered the responsibility for critical decisions, this is the definitive account of what a nuclear exchange would entail. Listen now to hear all about it. This podcast is generously supported by the Blavatnik Family Foundation.
