Nuclear War: A Scenario Conversation with Annie Jacobsen

Event Date: 12th June 2025
Location: Online, 6:30BST

Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament

In Annie Jacobsen’s Nuclear War: A Scenario, readers get a chilling minute-by-minute account of an unfolding nuclear war. Based on interviews with former US government and military officials, researchers, technical experts, and historians of the nuclear age, she exposes the horrific realities of such a conflict. It’s not cinematic. It’s not a thrill. It’s a reminder that a nuclear war can never be won and must never be fought – a powerful argument for nuclear disarmament.


The book, due to be released in paperback this July, is an international bestseller, and has been shortlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-Fiction. This speaks to the growing interest in the risk of such a conflict, as nuclear weapons states enter a new race to modernise and expand their arsenals.
