20th-anniversary edition of Caputo's memoir of fighting in Vietnam.
Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.

“To call it the best book about Vietnam is always to trivialize it . . . A Rumor of War is a dangerous and also subversive book, the first to insist—and the insistence is the greater powerful since it is implicit—that the reader ask himself these questions: Would I've acted? To what lengths would I've visited survive? The feeling of self is assaulted, overcome, subverted, leaving the reader to contemplate the deadening possibility that their own moral safety net might have a hole in it. It is a terrifying thought, and A Rumor of War is often a terrifying book.”—John Gregory Dunne, Los Angeles Times Book Review

“Caputo’s troubled, searching meditations for the love and hate of war, on fear, and the ambivalent discord warfare can cause within the hearts of decent men, are among one from the most eloquent We've read in modern literature.”—William Styron, The Modern York Review of Books

“Every war seems to get its voice: Caputo . . . is definitely an eloquent spokesman for those we lost in Vietnam.”—C. D. B. Bryan, Saturday Review

“A book that must be read and reread—if for not one other reason than being an eloquent statement against war. It is really a superb book.”—Terry Anderson, Denver Post

“This is news that goes beyond exactly what the journalists brought us, news from the heart of darkness. It was long overdue.”—Newsweek

“Not since Siegfried Sassoon's classic of World War I, Memoirs associated with an Infantry Officer, has there been a war memoir so obviously true, and thus disturbingly honest.”—William Broyles, Texas Monthly
