72 Minutes to Nuclear War

A Minute-by-Minute Journey Through the Next World War-From the First Missile Launch to the Fall of Cities, the Rise of Nuclear Winter, and the Terrifying Fight for Human Survival
by Harvey Miled

It begins with one missile. In 72 minutes, the world as you know it will end.
No alarms. No warnings. Just a countdown you never hear-until it's too late.

72 Minutes to Nuclear War is not a novel. It's a minute-by-minute, high-stakes simulation of a full-scale nuclear conflict-based on real protocols, historical close calls, declassified war games, and expert military strategy. From the first satellite detection to the collapse of global command, this book walks you through the exact sequence that unfolds when a nuclear missile is launched-and no one stops it.

This is the book governments don't want you to read.

You'll uncover:

• How nuclear weapons are actually launched-and why the U.S. president has only 6 minutes to decide
• Why the logic of "use them or lose them" makes global annihilation almost inevitable
• What happens when missile defense fails-as it has in 40% of live tests
• How false alarms, broken radars, and misread drills nearly ended humanity-multiple times
• Why surviving the blast is only the beginning-and nuclear winter may kill billions more
• The top countries that could survive-and how to tell if you're in one of them

Terrifyingly real. Relentlessly urgent. Deeply human.

Whether you're a survivalist, a student of geopolitics, or simply someone who wants to know the truth behind the headlines, this book is your window into the last hour of civilization-and what comes after.

For readers of:

• Nuclear War: A Scenario by Annie Jacobsen
• Command and Control by Eric Schlosser
• The Doomsday Machine by Daniel Ellsberg
• Anyone fascinated by geopolitical thrillers, real-world military strategy, or disaster survival

If you've ever thought: "That could never happen"...

This book will change your mind.
