  • Admiral James Stavridis On Climate Change, National Security, And 'The Restless Wave'

    Admiral James Stavridis On Climate Change, National Security, And 'The Restless Wave'
    Oct 13 2024
    Admiral James Stavridis led NATO's global operations from 2009 to 2013 as 16th Supreme Allied Commander for the alliance.

    His new book is called "The Restless Wave." It's the latest installment of historical fiction from one of the country's most respected military leaders.

    Stavridis recently warned that warfare is "shapeshifting in front of our eyes."

    He says the war in Ukraine is a fight that's both very low tech, a battle being fought in the trenches, and high tech, with the use of drones in the air and at sea.

    We sit down with Admiral Stavridis, discuss his latest book and answer your questions.
