Francis Townsend Dodd (October 5, 1899 – March 5, 1973) was a U.S.Army brigadier general held hostage by North Korean POWs during a camp uprising when he was commander of the United Nations-administered prisoner-of-war camps on Koje Island during the Korean War.
The incident led to a North Korean propaganda victory after the Army was forced to make embarrassing admissions to secure Dodd's release.
Dodd and others involved in the incident subsequently suffered career-ending damage to their reputations.
