Rebel Book Club Denver x CRISIS RESPONSE

About the book: Until now, no one outside official circles has known exactly what would happen if a rogue state launched a nuclear missile at the Pentagon. Second by second and minute by minute, these are the real-life protocols that choreograph the end of civilization as we know it. Based on dozens of new interviews with military and civilian experts who have built the weapons, been privy to the response plans, and taken responsibility for crucial decisions, this is the only account of what a nuclear exchange would look like. Why we chose it: "Essential if you want to understand the complex and disturbing details that go into a civilization-destroying decision to drop the Bomb on an enemy.” - The New York Times Interested?

Your host for the evening: Jen Kaarlo Mendenhall Writer, cultural storyteller, and longtime Rebel Book Club member, Jen explores ideas through the lenses of solo travel, reinvention after 40, and modern dating. Having lived in New York, London, and now Denver, she is passionate about creating welcoming spaces where curious minds connect over delicious books, discover new perspectives, and engage in conversations that linger long after the final page. ‍ Biggest RBC impact: "One Rebel Book Club evening that has stayed with me all these years was a conversation with award-winning journalist Isobel Yeung, then at VICE, around In Extremis: The Life of War Correspondent Marie Colvin. I was admittedly a little starstruck, but even more moved by how she used her voice to bring important stories to light, stories that truly deserved to be seen. The room was filled with curious minds, giving the discussion an electric energy that perfectly captured what Rebel Book Club does so well: bringing thoughtful people together to listen, reflect, and see the world a little differently."
