Philip Caputo: A Rumor of War (Paperback, 1999, Pimlico) 4 stars

Review of 'A Rumor of War' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

This is quite possibly the best VN memoir I've ever read, partly because of Caputo's keen observations, but partly too because the writing itself is simply beautiful. Parts of it rival 'In the Woods' for sheer poetry, which is not really what I expect to find in a book on this topic.
