Rumor of War

Rumor of War

by Philip Caputo

Picador · 2017

When a young lieutenant arrived in Vietnam in 1965, he carried the idealism of a nation. Sixteen months later, he returned home a changed man, his youthful illusions shattered by the brutal realities of combat. This memoir offers a searing, unflinching look at the psychological toll of war, and its publication became a national reckoning with the conflict. It’s a vital, honest testament for anyone grappling with the human cost of armed struggle.
