You might enjoy The 2020 Commission Report, speculative fiction by a foreign policy PhD specializing in nuclear proliferation. One of his central interests is how these decisions are made. Where is the conference room? Where are the decision-makers? What does it take to get them assembled? What are their moods and information diets, and how might that influence them in a moment of crisis? What are plausible sequences of "accidental" escalation events that might align the stars for a nuclear launch? And how might Trump's Twitter interact with all of this?
