Rebel Book Club Perth x CRISIS RESPONSE
About this Event
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

Your host for the evening
Albert Kurniadi
Known for his nomadic lifestyle and inspiring ventures, Albert founded Unseen Tours, a social enterprise in London. One of Rebel Book Club's original members, Albert is bringing all he's learned from over 100 rebel nonfiction reads (so far!) to Australia.
Most impactful RBC moment: "Meeting Emmy Award winning investigative journalist Ramitha Navai in person to discuss her book City of Lies, and delving deep into Tehran's underworld and the impact of morality laws and censorship in contemporary Iran. Ramitha was one of RBC's very first authors to come to the club's monthly events and she set a very high bar for how engaging and impactful an author's presence can be for the book club."
Albert's top non-fiction recommendations:
- Into The Wild, by Jon Krakauer
- The Art of Gathering, by Priya Parker
- Why We Sleep, by Matthew Walker
