This weekend, i came up with this theme, the information war. One of the attendees i was chatting me about spies and espionage and that kind of thing. And my ears perked up and i thought that would be an interesting topic. So i broaden that a bit to think about different kinds of that civil war. Americans shared, transmitted and almost as soon as i came up with that idea, i started to think about a terrific book with an incredibly intriguing title, mr. Lincolns tales. And so early on in process, i thought to myself, if i could get the author of this book to come and speak maybe this thing will work out extremely. And so i was absolutely thrilled. When tom wheeler, the author of, mr. Lincolns t mails, accepted the invitation to be with us as, a speaker at this years civil war weekend, wheeler is businessman, an author and a public figure. Im not even going to try and read out the list of his accomplishments. A few highlights include his service as chairman of. The federal Communications
