Bio
Over his 26 years of service as an American diplomat in Seoul, Tokyo, Wellington, Vienna, and Washington, DC, Mark Fitzpatrick acquired considerable expertise in nonproliferation and East Asia. After retiring from the Foreign Service, he joined the London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies, producing ten books about nuclear dangers and appearing frequently on international media outlets. In his third career, Fitzpatrick became a cruise ship lecturer, entertaining audiences with historical and political stories about far-flung destinations. When the 2020 coronavirus pandemic curtailed international travel, he turned to exploring matters closer to home.
