From one of the most admired admirals of his generation--and the only admiral to serve as Supreme Allied Commander at NATO--comes a remarkable voyage through all of the world's most important bodies of water, providing the story of naval power as a driver of human history and a crucial element in our current geopolitical path.

From the time of the Greeks and the Persians clashing in the Mediterranean, sea power has determined world power. To an extent that is often underappreciated, it still does. No one understands this better than Admiral Jim Stavridis. In Sea Power, Admiral Stavridis takes us with him on a tour of the world's oceans from the admiral's chair, showing us how the geography of the oceans has shaped the destiny of nations, and how naval power has in a real sense made the world we live in today, and will shape the world we live in tomorrow.

Not least, Sea Power is marvelous naval history, giving us fresh insight into great naval engagements from the battles of Salamis and Lepanto through to Trafalgar, the Battle of the Atlantic, and submarine conflicts of the Cold War. It is also a keen-eyed reckoning with the likely sites of our next major naval conflicts, particularly the Arctic Ocean, Eastern Mediterranean, and the South China Sea. Finally, Sea Power steps back to take a holistic view of the plagues to our oceans that are best seen that way, from piracy to pollution.

When most of us look at a globe, we focus on the shape of the of the seven continents. Admiral Stavridis sees the shapes of the seven seas. After reading Sea Power, you will too. Not since Alfred Thayer Mahan's legendary The Influence of Sea Power upon History have we had such a powerful reckoning with this vital subject.

Great organizer
Color: Black with Lid
This is a nice organizer for items that men have in their pockets or need to grab quickly when they go out. The wireless charger is a nice upgrade from older style valets.

Love the design and shape - Customer Service Amazing
Color: Black with Lid
UPDATED READ BELOW: Initial review: I think this is a great product, at a great price. Unfortunately, the wireless charger mine came with doesn’t work. It’ll charge for a few seconds, shut off, start charging, immediately shut back off - repeating this cycle. I’ve used the included cable, and two other cables as well as different outlets. Unfortunately, I threw out the box before checking this so can’t return to replace it…ugh Updated approx 3 weeks later: Seller reached out and sent me a replacement charger at no cost, it works perfectly so far (even though it has been a day lol) but no issues, no complaints here. Love this organizer - feels premium. Definitely recommend

Great organizer but will only charge a phone
Color: Black with Lid
My husband likes all the compartments. The only negative is that it doesn’t charge multiple items like AirPods or tablets. It is a very sturdy design and looks like it would organize things on a drop and go table.
