A Rumor of War: The Classic Vietnam Memoir by Philip Caputo
4.0
*3.75*
I'm not typically a huge fan of books following a war, but I think this was incredibly well-written and did a great job of diving into the psychological elements and anecdotes as well as the battles and the violence. Some of the descriptions were especially gruesome and I made the mistake of reading it while eating breakfast once, but considering I had to read this for class and I never would have otherwise reached for it, I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.
