"Jim Stavridis' Destroyer Captain --a REQUIRED read for all who aspire to command at sea and anyone who wants to know what Conrad was really talking about. Stavridis tells you how it was--the ups and downs, the good and the bad--not how somebody thinks you ought to hear it. I loved it!" --Adm. Robert J. Natter, USN (Ret.), Commander in Chief, U.S. Atlantic Fleet, 2001-04, "With his insider details about the real worries and triumphs of command, Destroyer Captain is a must read for all naval officers and a fascinating adventure for everyone who loves the U.S. Navy." --Robert N. Macomber, Award-winning author of the Honor Series, Designed to be a good read for anyone fascinated with what life is like behind the doors of the captains cabin. Fortunately, Stavridis is a writer who is not only good with the small details of daily life but shares a sense of history and awe of the sea. Simply, he is in love with command at sea, and you feel it throughout the entire book.Naval War College Review, " Destroyer Captain is interesting and entertaining and educational to anyone who has a leadership role at sea--or even on land. In an exciting and thoroughly enjoyable way, Admiral Stavridis explains the highs and lows of his first test in running an organization--in this case more than 300 Navy personnel deployed on a major U.S. warship. One can easily see why the qualities he exhibited as commanding officer of USS Barry have earned him his current position as an incredibly well respected four star admiral in charge of the U.S. Southern Command." --Mel M. Immergut, Chairman, Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP. New York, New York, This is a stirring tale of leadership challenge and the responsibility of command. How fitting that Admiral Stavridis' command experience was shaped by the adventures of guiding the USS Barry and her intrepid crewa ship named for Irish American John Barry, a courageous warrior who led during the formative days of our fledgling republic. The 'good fortune and great heart' Admiral Stavridis ascribes to Barry is manifest in Destroyer Captain as timeless truths about leadership that accrues great benefit to all Americans thanks to those like Admiral Stavridis who defend us.Sean O'Keefe, Secretary of the Navy, 1992-93, "This is a stirring tale of leadership challenge and the responsibility of command.

Officers from all the services, especially surface warfare naval officers aspiring to command, will find these lessons of a first command by one of the Navys most respected admirals both entertaining and instructive.Sea Classics, "With all the joy, doubt, self-examination, hope, and fear of a first command, Stavridis offers an honest assessment of his experiences from the bridge to help readers grasp the true nature of command at sea.
