Pfaudler Lecture Series - What Would a War with N. Korea Look Like?
Robert Gerace, Naval Intelligence Officer, retired With over 27 years of service, Mr. Gerace had assignments in Buffalo, Rochester, and, finally, Washington, D.C. all of which supported the Defense Intelligence Agency which is the military counterpart to the Central Intelligence Agency. His last 10 years was as Acting Naval Attaché to the US Embassy in Lagos, Nigeria where he went aboard an active Soviet warship in what was an historic trial between the Soviet officers and US officers. The trial was successful and led to a Soviet ship visit to our Norfolk Naval Base, and a US ship visit to Sebastopol, Ukraine. This was a significant breakthrough during the administration of Mikhail Gorbachev. Mr. Gerace enjoyed a robust teaching career at RIT including a course on counterterrorism. He is a graduate of SUNY-Buffalo, Brown University, and the US Naval War College.
