In Love and War, Revised and Updated

A unique chronicle of an American navy family's life during the Vietnam war years. The book recounts the story of the Stockdale family, including Jim Stockdale's seven years as a prisoner-of-war after his plane was shot down over North Vietnam and his wife Sybil's work negotiating for POW's.

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 of In Love and War, and politics as practised in the navy and on the campus of a major university.

About the Author

Vice Admiral James Bond Stockdale (1923 –2005) was one of the most highly decorated officers in the history of the United States Navy. Stockdale led aerial attacks from the carrier USS Ticonderoga (CVA-14) during the 1964 Gulf of Tonkin Incident. On his next deployment, while Commander of Carrier Air Wing 16 aboard the carrier USS Oriskany (CV-34) , he was shot down over enemy territory on September 9, 1965. 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. During the late 1970s, he served as President of the Naval War College. Stockdale was candidate for Vice President of the United States in the 1992 presidential election, on Ross Perot's independent ticket.
