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.

Moreover, spanning 2,500 years from ancient Greece to the twenty-first century, \u003ci\u003eSailing True North \u003c\/i\u003eis 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy 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.","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43380488536319,"sku":"9780525559955","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780525559955_s600x595.jpg?v=1775590802","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780525559955","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
