Lizzie Stark, author of Leaving Mundania: Inside the Transformative World of Live Action Role-Playing Games and Charlie Schroeder, author of Man of War: My Adventures in the World of Historical Reenactment came to WNYC separately but both ended up discussing how simulated warfare could lead to the end of the real deal.

Charlie Schroeder talks about the year he spent reenacting one battle after another, from ancient Rome to Stalingrad, in his book Man of War: My Adventures in the World of Historical Reenactment.
