It is with great sadness that National Institute for Public Policy reports that Dr. Colin S. Gray passed away on February 27, 2020. Originally a British national, Dr. Gray became a naturalized U.S. citizen and, in 1981, co-founded the National Institute and served as its founding President. He continued in that capacity until he and his family relocated from the Washington, D.C. area to the United Kingdom. Following Colin’s return to the United Kingdom, he continued to serve as National Institute’s European Director while also leading international security study centers first at the University of Hull and subsequently at the University of Reading. Dr. Gray was a brilliant scholar, prolific writer and superb teacher. His unparalleled body of work on a wide range of international security topics has had a significant and enduring impact on U.S. strategic thought. It is required reading in many university courses and continues to be referenced in professional writings across a wide range of strategic topics. His brilliance, voice and charm will be sorely missed by his National Institute colleagues and many others around the world. (more…)
