| | 1. |  | A Rumor of War
from Holt Paperbacks
Price: $10.20
Customer Review:
I thought this book was the best book on Vietnam that I have ever read. Its a facinating look into life as a line officer in a front line Marine Infantry batallion during the early part of the war. Caputo holds nothing back when it comes to describing life on the front line and what goes through the... more info

| | 2. |  | Winesburg, Ohio
from Caedmon
Price: $34.95
Customer Review:
It isn't often I get frustrated with any classics, but Winesburg, Ohio was different. It has some moments where it just seems to get lost in the prose (the only problem is that I mean this literally). While, there are some interesting moments about George Willard, his family and those who live in... more info

from Vintage
Price: $10.85
Customer Review:
"Do you suppose war to be here what wars are elsewhere?"... "Do you suppose that it is an event, with a discrete beginning that will proceed to a discrete middle und so weiter on to a discrete end? No! It is a condition of life, like drought. There is war in Sudan because there is war."

| | 4. |  | DelCorso's Gallery
from Vintage
Price: $14.00
Customer Review:
Caputo, Philip....is repeating himself here. Or actually he's selling a rough draft. DelCorso's Gallery (published 1983) is Means of Escape (pub. 1991) in fictional form.
Instances in Rumors of War are repeated here too, as they also are in Means of Escape, sometimes word for word.

| | 6. |  | Horn of Africa: A Novel
from Vintage
Price: $10.20
Customer Review:
Horn of Africa is more relevant now than when it was written. Caputo writes with authority of the African hand stomping through the continent wearing out desert boots. The character arcs of the protagonists make this a fascinating and compelling read.

| | 9. |  | Indian Country
from Vintage
Price: $11.25
Customer Review:
This is an extraordinarily good read. The character development is complex, non-patronising, well researched, and above all entertaining.
This is not a light action read by any stretch of the imagination. Rather a detailed look at the complexity of human relationships including the hope, the joy,... more info
