Illustrated with a section of black-and-white photographic plates. "Adm. Jim Stavridis is one of the most forward-thinking military officers and enlightened leaders of his generation. Afghanistan, Libya, the Balkans, Syria, piracy, and cyber threats were just a few of the enormous challenges he superbly handled as Supreme Allied Commander at NATO. The Accidental Admiral gives readers a window into what it is like to wrestle with the toughest twenty-first-century problems of strategy and diplomacy." - Robert M. Gates, Secretary of Defense, 2008-11. "After his selection as NATO's sixteenth Supreme Allied Commander, the New York Times described Jim Stavridis as a "Renaissance admiral." Since NATO had previously been led by generals, Stavridis viewed his assignment as the first naval officer to take command as somewhat "accidental." As the U.S. and NATO commander in Europe responsible for 120,000 coalition troops serviing in fifty-one nations on three continents and at sea, he had come a long way since almost leaving the Navy for law school five years after receiving his commission. Known as an innovator and an early adopter of technology and social media, Stavridis' ability to think "outside the box" and sail in uncharted waters is unmatched. He shares his insights on leadership, strategic communications, planning, and the convergence of threats that will confront the United States and its allies in the near future. Stavridis is an advocate of the use of "Smart Power," which he defines as the balance of hard and soft power. He explains that building bridges and interconnectivity among international, interagency, and public-private actors is critical to achieving security in the twenty-first century. The Accidental Admiral offers an intimate look at the challenges of directing NATO operations in Afghanistan and military intervention in Libya, preparing for possible war in Syria, counntering cyberthreats, and confronting pirates, all while cutting NATO's operational staff by a third due to budget reductions by the twenty-eight nations of the Alliance. More than just describing the history of the times, Stavridis also shares his insights into the personalities of President Barack Obama; Secretary of State Hillary Clinton; Secrretaries of Defense Robert Gates, Leon Panetta, and Chuck Hagel; Afghan president Hamid Karzai; Generals David Petraeus, Stanley McChrystal, and John Allen and many others." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
