Another Vietnam War book

Finished this morning an excellent memoir of the Vietnam War, this one by Philip Caputo called A Rumor of War. The author landed in Vietnam just about the same time I was part of the creation of the first Marine supply base at Chu Lai (I returned home three months later at the end on my US Navy service). Caputo was up the road a bit as part of the Marine forces trying to defend an airport outside of Danang. His memoir does an excellent job of putting you right there in the heat and the dust and the rain and the terror and the fear and the horror and the love and the loyalty and the muck of battle in a strange land. His final two chapters, written in Montana while he was recovering from war wounds he suffered in Lebanon ten years after his tour started in Vietnam, are exceptional. But then, the preceding chapters set the stage. Excellent writing, excellent book. Now it's on to Herman Wouk's The Glory, a book that will take me to Israel and life after 1967's Six Day War.
