Annie Jacobsen in conversation with Michael Stott

How a nuclear war would unfold

Cartagena 2026, 

Annie Jacobsen (USA) was a Pulitzer Prize finalist with The Pentagon’s Brain, which was a detailed look into the US military and intelligence apparatus, a field that she has also dealt with in Area 51 and Operation Paperclip. Her latest book, Nuclear War: a Scenario, describes —using realistic events, actions and protocols— how exactly the nuclear war that would bring about the end of humanity might unfold. She will be in conversation with Michael Stott, Latin American editor of the Financial Times.

Simultaneous interpretation from English to Spanish available
