Kärnvapenkrig : ett scenario

AvAnnie Jacobsen

Inbunden, Svenska, 2024

Skickas

72 minuter. Så lång tid tar det från den första upptäckten av ett avfyrat nordkoreanskt kärnvapen med slutmål Washington DC till dess att stora delar av civilisationen ligger i ruiner. Vapnet som skulle innebära slutet på de stora världskrigen har utvecklats till ett monster bortom mänsklig kontroll. Den ömsesidiga terrorbalansen är så pass skör att allt kan raseras av ett missförstånd, eller en enda impulsiv statschef.

Här erbjuds en unik inblick i det kärnvapenmilitära etablissemanget. Den amerikanska journalisten Annie Jacobsen har utforskat teknologierna, säkerhetssystemen, planerna och riskerna. Minut för minut skildrar hon det potentiella händelseförlopp som inga världsledare vill tala öppet om – men som när som helst kan bli verklighet.

Annie Jacobsen är journalist och pulitzerprisnominerad författare till en rad uppmärksammade böcker. Kärnvapenkrig har blivit en omdiskuterad bästsäljare i USA.

Med förord av Martin Kragh.

WITH A NEW AFTERWORDThe INSTANT New York Times bestseller Instant Los Angeles Times bestsellerFinalist, Dayton Literary Peace PrizeOne of NPR's Books We LoveOne of Newsweek Staffers' Favorite Books of the YearShortlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize“In Nuclear War: A Scenario, Annie Jacobsen gives us a vivid picture of what could happen if our nuclear guardians fail….Terrifying.”—The 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.

Before that time, responsibility for taking out America's enemies abroad was even more shrouded in mystery. Despite Hollywood notions of last-minute rogue-operations and external secret hires, covert action is actually a cog in a colossal foreign policy machine, moving through, among others, the Bureau of Intelligence and Research, the House and Senate Select Committees. At the end of the day, it is the President, not the C IA, who is singularly in charge.For the first time, Pulitzer Prize finalist and New York Times bestselling author Annie Jacobsen takes us deep inside this top-secret history. With unparalleled access to former operatives, ambassadors, and even past directors of the Secret Service and CIA operations, Jacobsen reveals the inner workings of these teams, and just how far a U.S. president may go, covertly but lawfully, to pursue the nation's interests.

When Lexi is called home to Saskatchewan to care for her dying mother, she returns a changed person. At home, Lexi finds a journal written by her older brother during the family's journey from Russia to Canada. In it she reads of a tragedy kept secret for years, one hat reconciles her early memories of her mother as joyful and loving with the burdened woman she became in Canada.

'Indefatigable reporting . . . it has become newly topical, too' TelegraphIn this engrossing and deeply disturbing exposé from the bestselling author of Nuclear War: A Scenario, Annie Jacobsen tells the gripping story of a decades-long, covert project to bring Hitler's scientists and their families to the United States. In the chaos following the Second World War, the US government faced a critical decision: what to do with the great scientific minds of the Third Reich. Many were accused of war crimes, and others had stood trial at Nuremberg; one was convicted of mass murder. Nevertheless, the US government secretly decided that their knowledge of rocketry and medical advances were vital to the outcome of the Cold War.Drawing on exclusive interviews with dozens of Paperclip family members, colleagues, and interrogators, and dossiers discovered in archives across the world, Annie Jacobsen follows more than a dozen German scientists through their postwar lives and into one of the most startling, complex, nefarious, and jealously guarded government secrets of the twentieth century.‘Chilling and riveting . . . a remarkable achievement of investigative reporting and historical writing’ Boston Globe‘The most in-depth account yet of the lives of Paperclip recruits and their American counterparts’ New York Times Book Review

Yet, the agency's cutting-edge projects remain cloaked in secrecy, often outpacing public domain advancements by decades. In this groundbreaking account, Jacobsen uncovers DARPA's hidden history, triumphs and controversies, exploring its role in pioneering technologies that redefine warfare and society while questioning the wisdom of allowing DARPA to determine what lies ahead.
