North Korea launches surprise missile attack on Washington D.C. and California in Annie Jacobsen's "Nuclear War" scenario, provoking potential US retaliation and risk of escalation to nuclear conflict.
A new book by Annie Jacobsen, "Nuclear War: A Scenario", proposes a shocking scenario where North Korea launches a surprise attack with Hwasong-17 and Pukguksong-1 missiles, destroying Washington D.C. and a California power plant.

Jacobsen's speculation suggests New England could be destroyed within 72 minutes.
