From one of the most distinguished admirals of our time and a
former Supreme Allied Commander of NATO, a meditation on leadership
and character refracted through the lives of ten of the most
illustrious naval commanders in history In Sailing True North,
Admiral Stavridis offers lessons of leadership and character from
the lives and careers of history's most significant naval
commanders. He also brings a lifetime of reflection to bear on the
subjects of his study--naval history, the vocation of the admiral,
and global geopolitics. Above all, this is a book that will help
you navigate your own life's voyage: the voyage of leadership of
course, but more important, the voyage of character. Sailing True
North helps us find the right course to chart. Simply as epic
lives, the tales of these ten admirals offer up a collection of the
greatest imaginable sea stories. Moreover, spanning 2,500 years
from ancient Greece to the twenty-first century, Sailing True North
is a book that offers a history of the world through the prism of
our greatest naval leaders. None of the admirals in this volume
were perfect, and some were deeply flawed. But from Themistocles,
Drake, and Nelson to Nimitz, Rickover, and Hopper, important themes
emerge, not least that serving your reputation is a poor substitute
for serving your character; and that taking time to read and
reflect is not a luxury, it's a necessity. By putting us on
personal terms with historic leaders in the maritime sphere he
knows so well, James Stavridis gives us a compass that can help us
navigate the story of our own lives, wherever that voyage takes us.
