Cover of James B. Stockdale: Thoughts of a Philosophical Fighter Pilot (PDF)

Thoughts on issues of character, leadership, integrity, personal and public virtue, and ethics, the selections in this volume converge around the central theme of how man can rise with dignity to prevail in the face of adversity-lessons just as valid for the challenges of present-day life as they were for the author’s Vietnam experience.
