The 2020 Commission Report on the North Korean Nuclear Attacks Against the United States

This book is the most scary horror book i have ever read
Una pequeña delicia. Algo encorsetado en el formato de informe final de una comisión del congreso, consigue sacarle el máximo partido, dosificando los hechos que da por sabidos. Cuenta la historia de una hipotético intercambio nuclear entre Corea del Norte y los USA de Trump con maestría y helando la sangre del lector que sabe que no fue pero no hay motivo por el que no pudiera haber sido. El relato de Trump es terrible y encaja perfectamente con la realidad. Da mucho que pensar en estas momentos de tensión entre la OTAN y Rusia y probablemente debería ser de lectura obligatoria para los responsables políticos. El toque final con la respuesta de Trump al informe le hace merecer otra estrella.

One false tweet could cause mass destruction -- that's the lesson here. Terrifying. Yet hopeful...because yes the destruction of cities and the massive loss of lives is TERRIBLE, it seems like this PhD fellow/author feels civilization MAY go on in a somewhat structured way. (I'm trying to look on the bright-side here, OK.)

An excellent piece of geopolitics fiction, with a strong base in our current international relations and the figures who are part of it. Every complication in the book is realistic, either based in assumptions that are incorrect, or our communication. The author's influence by Hiroshima by John Hersey is an excellent foundation and should be read by those who found this book informative and influential.
Additionally, that the book uses a limited nuclear war rather than the single incident or global apocalypse, offers disturbing effects on the rest of the world that would otherwise be ignored.

A fun little thought exercise about what would happen if Trump had to face a real international crisis.
