Courage Under Fire: Testing Epictetus's Doctrines in a Laboratory of Human Behavior

James B. Stockdale

4.2/5 ( ratings)

When physical disability from combat wounds brought about Jim Stockdale's early retirement from military life, he had the distinction of being the only three-star officer in the history of the navy to wear both aviator wings and the Congressional Medal of Honor.
