🚨 Stockdale's POW Leadership: How He Led & Inspired in Vietnam 🚨

Shot down. Captured. Imprisoned.

Admiral James Stockdale found himself as the senior-ranking American officer in a brutal prisoner of war camp during Vietnam. With no freedom, no resources, and no direct contact, he realized his duty didn’t end—it had just begun.
