Dalam bukunya 2008, Destroyer Captain: Lessons of a First Command , Stavridis menulis:
In the early 1920s, my grandfather, a short short-lived Greek schoolteacher named Dimitrios Stavridis, was expelled from Turkey as part of an 'ethnic cleansing' (read pogrom) directed against the Greeks who lived in the remnants of the Ottoman Empire. He almost escaped with his life on a small boat across the Aegean to Athens and then to Ellis Island. His brother was not so lucky and was killed by the Turks as part of the violence aimed at the Greek minority.
The NATO exercise off the coast of modern Turkey is "the most amazing historical irony [he can imagine]," and encouraged Stavridis to write about his grandfather: "His grandson, who spoke almost no Greek words, returned in command of the billion-dollar destroyer to the city - Smyrna, now called? Zmir - from where he sailed on a refugee ship many years ago. "
