Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - In September 1965, US Navy pilot James Bond Stockdale was shot down over North Vietnam and became a prisoner of war. What followed was an eight-year test of ancient Stoic philosophy under the most extreme conditions imaginable.Courage Under Fire is Stockdale's account of how the teachings o…f the Greek philosopher Epictetus--a former slave who had known suffering--sustained him as he led his fellow prisoners through systematic torture, years of solitary confinement, and psychological warfare designed to break their will.Introduced to Stoicism as a graduate student at Stanford University, Stockdale brought its lessons to the 'Hanoi Hilton' and its hundreds of POWs as a manual for survival under extreme pressure. Epictetus taught that although we cannot control external events, we maintain absolute power over our judgments, opinions, and will.- This rare firsthand account from the highest-ranking officer held in the Hanoi prison system demonstrates leadership in impossible circumstances.- Stockdale shows how he and his fellow prisoners developed clandestine communications and resistance tactics, and how he convinced men to accept further torture rather than compromise their principles.- Stockdale provides timeless wisdom on resilience, dignity, and maintaining one's humanity in the face of systematic cruelty.Written by a Congressional Medal of Honor recipient, Courage Under Fire bridges ancient wisdom and modern crisis. Originally delivered in 1993 as a lecture at King's College, London, it remains the definitive account of Stoicism tested in what Stockdale called his 'laboratory of human behavior.'.
