A Rumor of War
A Rumor of War
Author: Philip Caputo
Genres: Biographies & Memoirs, History
Book Type: Paperback
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 1


I read this after reading "Matterhorn" and was jolted by how similar the authors' experiences had been. Caputo succeeded at his goal, making the reader experience the war as he did--- exhilarating, terrifying, disgusting, confusing and boring by turns. A well-crafted read.
