A RUMOR OF WAR by Philip Caputo

Finished Fr 5/16/14

I was looking for Norman Mailer's ARMIES OF THE NIGHT in my collection, and found this one. I had read it in 1996, but only remembered the basics.

A great read about the disillusionment of war, and especially the Vietnam experience. This was America's first encounter with the loss of a war, but I think Iraq and Afghanistan are now included.

Vietnam was our longest war, but I think Iraq is now the longer one.
