Last December I was invited to speak at the Naval War College in Newport, R.I. The commandant, Admiral Wisecup recently began a book club among the student body and chose “World War Z” as his inaugural book. My day began with a tour of the campus and war gamming facility, followed by a brief talk then Q and A with the students. The experience was truly an honor, especially for someone like me who is, in the words of Peter Ustinov in Spartacus; “more of a civilian than most civilians”.
