Nuclear War: A Scenario, by Annie Jacobsen. It's a short book, with second-by-second description of the unfolding of a research-based hypothetical nuclear war that starts with North Korea launching an ICBM towards the United States. Alarming (as only the facts about the parlous state of detection and defence can alarm) and edifying in one.

Just read this based on your recommendation, really great book. Though annoying that it doesn't go into more detail about what may happen to countries like New Zealand
