Her books include: AREA 51; OPERATION PAPERCLIP; THE PENTAGON’S BRAIN; PHENOMENA; SURPRISE\, KILL VANISH\, and FIRST PLATOON. \nHer newest book\, NUCLEAR WAR: A SCENARIO\, is an international bestseller. \nJacobsen’s books have been named Best of the Year and Most Anticipated by outlets including The Washington Post\, USA Today\, The Boston Globe\, Vanity Fair\, Apple\, and Amazon. She has appeared on countless TV programs and media platforms—from PBS Newshour to Joe Rogan—discussing war\, weapons\, government secrecy\, and national security. Audiences have ranged from The Vatican to The United Nations. \nShe also writes and produces TV\, including Tom Clancy’s JACK RYAN. \nJacobsen graduated from Princeton University where she was Captain of the Women’s Ice Hockey Team. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband Kevin and their two sons. \nAbout Biological War: A Scenrio \nA lab accident\, a bio-attack\, a global pandemic\, and the collapse of human society. In this essential new book\, based on dozens of new interviews with experts with high-level political\, governmental\, medical\, and military responsibility\, Annie Jacobsen examines this very scenario. It would be only a matter of days from such a global infection before the infrastructure built to handle this gravest of situations would be in a battle for human existence. \nThe fallout: mass death\, total societal breakdown\, widespread insurrection\, anarchy\, and a plague-ravaged wasteland that no longer resembles modern civilization. In other words: dystopia. \nFollowing the gripping narrative style that launched Nuclear War to the New York Times bestseller list\, Jacobsen looks deeply at a situation that is in some ways the opposite of a nuclear bomb: There is no mushroom cloud\, no shock wave or blast. Instead\, the scenario that could end the world as we know it begins with something so small\, and something so malicious\, that when used for evil\, only evil can result. \nThis is what could happen; a ticking-clock roadmap to the hours\, days\, and weeks following the release of a biological agent\, that serves as the most essential\, forward-looking journalism in preparation for urgent societal upheaval.
