Here’s a list of all the books mentioned in this episode, complete with an Amazon buy link and quotes from the episode.
Nuclear War
Buy on Amazon"I get into that in the end of the book. So I write the book and essentially three acts: like the first 24 minutes, the next 24 minutes, the last 24 minutes, and then nuclear winter."
Nuclear War
Buy on Amazon"So nuclear winter is very well described by a fellow called Professor Brian Toon, who I interview in the book."
Nuclear War
Buy on Amazon"As I explain in the book, and, again, as was relayed to me by defense officials, we can’t shoot down ballistic missiles, long-range ballistic missiles, with any kind of certainty or accuracy."
Nuclear War
Buy on Amazon"And so what I try to do is condense the lectures that I receive about how it all works into this dramatic form, which is how I landed on this format for this book, which I think is really effective, which is giving it to you like a scenario, like this is what would happen, and then going back to all my sources."
Nuclear War
Buy on Amazon"And these things are, by the way, I have a map in the back of the book that shows you how close our adversaries, enemies, call them what you will, China and Russia, how close they come to the east coast and the west coast of the United States regularly, which means it reduces that launch time."
Surprise, Kill, Vanish
Buy on Amazon"Someone was asking me about my book, 'Surprise, Kill, Vanish,' about the CIA's paramilitary guys, the Ground Branch, the snake eaters."
Nuclear War
Buy on Amazon"And like I said, I haven't read your book, but I have several friends who have, and they're absolutely terrified by it."
