King's previous autobiographical book, School Days: Coming of Age in the Mid-20th Century, available at online booksellers, roughly covered the first thirty years of his life. This one, School Days II, extends the coverage for about another ten years, beginning after his formal education and military service were done and he was about to embark on a 41-year career that would place him in the top ranks of academics, professional society leadership and business consulting. He has authored 17 books that have appeared in many languages and editions, and over 400 articles, op-eds and columns in a wide variety of professional and popular journals, magazines and newspapers. His contributions have been recognized by the Association for Information Systems' Leo Award for lifetime achievement, the McKinsey Foundation's book award for a "seminal contribution to management" and designation as one of about a hundred people, including several Nobel Laureates, who most impacted the fields of Operations Research and Management Science in their first fifty years.view less
