Publisher's Note
First published nearly thirty years ago, this ground-breaking memoir of the Vietnam War by a Marine Corps veteran brings America's attention to the men who served in the jungles of Vietnam.

Industry Reviews
"Philip Caputo's elegantly written 'A Rumor Of War' traces the effect the 'savagery' of the Vietnam 'conflict' had on his life, as he changed from a gung-ho Marine officer...to a man court-martialed for murder."
San Francisco Review of Books - Ann Collette

"As a young infantry lieutenant with the 9th Marine Expeditionary Brigade, Philip Caputo was in the first combat unit sent to Indochina in March 1965. 'A Rumour of War', his factual account of being there, is a masterpiece of war writing."
Times Literary Supplement - John Melmoth (02/26/1988)

"[T]ells us, as no other book that I can think of has done, what it was actually like to be fighting in that hellish jungle."
Lehmann-Haupt

"[T]he ultimate effect of this book is to make the personal and public responsibility merge into a nightmare of horror and waste experienced humanly by the Caputos and inhumanly by the politicians and generals. Out of the force of his obsession with the war and his role in it, Caputo has revealed the broken idealism and suppressed agony of America's involvement."
New York Times Book Review - Ted Solotaroff (05/29/1977)
