Biological War: A Scenario by Annie Jacobsen — from the #1 bestselling author of Nuclear War: A Scenario comes a chilling, meticulously reported exploration of one of humanity’s greatest existential threats.
What happens if a lab accident or deliberate bio-attack unleashes a weaponized pathogen? In this gripping and essential new book, Pulitzer Prize finalist Annie Jacobsen maps out a terrifying but plausible scenario: the rapid spread of a global pandemic, the collapse of social order, and the potential end of modern civilization as we know it.
Drawing on dozens of exclusive interviews with high-level military officials, intelligence operatives, scientists, physicians, and government leaders, Jacobsen reconstructs the critical hours, days, and weeks that would follow the release of a biological weapon. The result is a fast-paced, ticking-clock nonfiction thriller that reveals how prepared — or unprepared — the world truly is.
Following the international success of Nuclear War: A Scenario, Jacobsen once again combines rigorous investigative journalism with narrative intensity to confront a subject that has long hovered at the edges of her reporting. Biological War is both a wake-up call and a masterclass in what is at stake.
Essential reading for anyone concerned about national security, public health, and the future of human society.
