Synopsis
In March 1965, Marine Lieutenant Philip J. Caputo landed in Danang in Vietnam. Sixteen months later, having served on the line in one of modern history's ugliest wars, he returned home - physically whole, emotionally wasted, his youthful idealism shattered. A decade later, Caputo would write in A Rumor of War.

Rumour of War - An insight
Having read similar works by a number of authors I rate this as the best work I've read so far for it's insight and vivid detail. This isn't a pretty tale but a down to earth document that cannot leave even the most hard nosed of readers unshaken.
