No Limits: The Thriller Podcast

Nuclear War by Annie Jacobsen: 72 Minutes to Doomsday | Spoiler Book Review

In this week’s episode of No Limits: The Thriller Podcast, Chris and Mike go nuclear as they break down Annie Jacobsen’s terrifying nonfiction book, Nuclear War: A Scenario. Join us as we step inside the war room to examine the harrowing 72-minute timeline from an initial missile launch to global obliteration. Does Jacobsen successfully blend deeply researched journalism with the pacing of a thriller—or does the book struggle to decide what it wants to be? Topics we cover: * The reality of “launch-on-warning” policies—and how split-second decisions could doom the planet * Missile defense systems, the illusion of control, and whether anyone can truly stop an incoming attack * The long-term consequences of an EMP attack on modern infrastructure * Why surviving the initial blast could be worse than dying in it * Whether Nuclear War is the ultimate cautionary tale or a bleak exercise in determinism — 🔗 WATCH, LISTEN, & FOLLOW US: Website → https://thrillerpod.com [https://thrillerpod.com]  YouTube → https://thrillerpod.com/youtube [https://thrillerpod.com/youtube] Spotify → https://thrillerpod.com/spotify [https://thrillerpod.com/spotify] Apple Podcasts → https://www.thrillerpod.com/apple [https://www.thrillerpod.com/apple]   Instagram → https://thrillerpod.com/instagram [https://thrillerpod.com/instagram]  Twitter/X → https://thrillerpod.com/twitter [https://thrillerpod.com/twitter]  Facebook → https://thrillerpod.com/facebook [https://thrillerpod.com/facebook]    💬 JOIN OUR BOOK CLUB Die-hard thriller fan?
