Description

This compelling story of a Vietnam Medal of Honor recipient and his family was widely praised when the original edition of the book was published in 1984. In this updated edition, Jim and Sybil Stockdale continue their story to let readers know what has happened in the eventful years since Jim's release from a Hanoi prison in 1973. Refusing to rest on past accomplishments or to be used as mere figureheads, they have remained as committed and outspoken as ever, their actions often headline news. Here they reveal the stories behind the news, including Jim's hasty departure as president of the Citadel, the filming of the movie adaptation ofIn Love and War, and politics as practiced in the navy and on the campus of a major university.

Stockdale was the highest-ranking naval officer held as a prisoner of war in Vietnam. He was awarded 26 personal combat decorations, including the Medal of Honor and four Silver Stars.
