Annie Jacobsen joins Geoff Bennett on 'Settle In'

Season 2026 Episode 159 | 6m 27s

What would happen if the next major national security threat wasn't a missile or a bomb but a deliberately engineered pathogen? That's the premise of "Biological War: A Scenario," the new book by Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Annie Jacobsen. Geoff Bennett discussed America's preparedness for biological threats with Jacobsen on our PBS News podcast, "Settle In."
