After He Was Selected to be NATO's sixteenth Supreme Allied Commander, the New York Times described Adm. James Stavridis as a "Renaissance admiral." A U.S. Naval Academy graduate with a master's degree and doctorate from The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University, this author of numerous books and articles impressed the Navy's leaders and senior Pentagon civilians with his wide range of interests, educational background, and command of international affairs. The Accidental Admiral offers an intimate look at the challenges of directing NATO operations in Afghanistan, military intervention in Libya, and preparation for possible war in Syria-as well as concerns about the Balkans, cyber threats, and piracy. Admiral Stavridis, a retired four-star officer, explains that to create security in the twenty-first century it is critical to build bridges, not walls.
