Admiral James Stavridis, former NATO Allied Supreme Commander and author of The Restless Wave: A Novel of the United States Navy, returns to The Realignment. Marshall and Admiral Stavridis discuss how the challenges facing America in the 1930s: debates over isolationism, economic pessimism, and a military establishment in need of reform, mirror those of the 2020s, the differences between writing a novel about the past vs. the near future, the ever-evolving role of the Navy, and why America's WWII legacy is increasingly controversial.
