The 40th anniversary edition of the classic Vietnam memoir--featured in the PBS documentary series The Vietnam War by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick--with a new foreword by Kevin Powers

In March of 1965, Lieutenant Philip J. Caputo landed at Danang with the first ground combat unit deployed to Vietnam. Sixteen months later, having served on the line in one of modern history's ugliest wars, he returned home--physically whole but emotionally wasted, his youthful idealism forever gone.

A Rumor of War is far more than one soldier's story. Upon its publication in 1977, it shattered America's indifference to the fate of the men sent to fight in the jungles of Vietnam. In the years since then, it has become not only a basic text on the Vietnam War but also a renowned classic in the literature of wars throughout history and, as the author writes, of the things men do in war and the things war does to them.

Heartbreaking, terrifying, and enraging. It belongs to the literature of men at war. --Los Angeles Times Book Review

Great cell phone mount, super easy to install!!!
This is an awesome cell phone holder for the car! I have a 2022 X3 and it works perfectly and is super sturdy. It was so easy to install and I love that the directions include a QR code you can scan and watch a video on installation making it even easier. Once you put your phone into the holder it stays put and is in the perfect location so you can see the screen without taking your eyes off the road. I definitely recommend this cell phone mount for your vehicle.

Great product but a bit expensive
Style: Charging MagSafe Mount
Well built. Comes with cable management. The rear mechanism doesnt use adhesives, so it comes loose after heat and rough roads. Just put some sticky tape and itll work great. Charging speeds are fast and most importantly the ball joint is tight and doesnt shake over rough roads.

Good looks that betray a flawed locking mechanism
Style: Charging MagSafe Mount
I wanted to love the Spigen TapLock—its sleek design and promise of a secure, easy-to-use latch mechanism had me hopeful. At first, it felt solid, and the concept of a spin-to-lock system was clever. But after just a few weeks, the latch mechanism started failing. It wouldn’t adhere properly anymore, and the spin-to-lock feature became completely non-functional—no amount of spinning tightens the lock. Fixing it? Near impossible. The design buries the mechanism in a way that makes repairs a nightmare, and there’s no clear way to realign or replace parts without breaking it further. It’s a shame because the build quality isn’t terrible otherwise, but this critical flaw tanks it. One star—looks good, works briefly, then betrays you. The charge speed is pretty good.
