Zachary Shore is a Professor of National Security Affairs at the Naval Postgraduate School and National Security Visiting Fellow at the Hoover Institution. His work focuses on strategic empathy, enemy assessment, and ethical dilemmas in US foreign policy.
- Doctorate in Modern History from Oxford University
- National Security Fellow at Harvard
- Fellow at Stanford's Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences
Shore's research explores how leaders understand adversaries, particularly through historical lenses like WWII. His concept of 'strategic empathy' examines how successful leaders like Gandhi navigated enemy mindsets, while failures like Stalin highlight critical misjudgments.
Recent publications investigate moral complexities in post-war policies, revenge dynamics, and modern applications of historical lessons to conflicts in Ukraine and US-China relations. Notable trends include analyzing pattern breaks in enemy behavior and the role of information suppression in authoritarian regimes.

Shore's podcast appearances and media engagements dissect wartime ethical conflicts, US leadership challenges, and the importance of balancing vengeance with virtue in policy decisions. His advocacy for the blind and personal experience with vision loss adds a unique perspective to his academic and public work.
