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

Best Westie ball ever, my dog loves this ball. Exactly her size! 3" tennis balls are too big & she rips the fur off. this silicone-ish ball has no fur & is 2&1/2 " We have 2" balls from her electronic ball laucher, but she still loves this glow in the dark best!

Best dog ball in the world!
Size: Large, Pattern Name: Pack of 1, Size: Large, Pattern Name: Pack of 1
My dog is singularly obsessed with playing ball. He would drop a steak to chase a ball. (He'd return to the steak, but not without the retrieved ball. He's not an idiot.) He makes dangerous leaps, crashes into trees, and runs fast enough to catch thrown balls before they even hit the ground. Since he doesn't care about his own wellbeing, it's my job to protect him as much as I can. And a lot of balls are hard enough to cause him pain or dental damage when he mistimes a catch. Enter the ChuckIt Glow Ball! The minute Cowboy got his first Glow Ball, he no longer had any interest in the dozens of tennis balls scattered around the house and yard. If I took the Glow Ball away and instead threw a tennis ball, Cowboy would run to retrieve the ball, then return without it and begin looking all over the house for the Glow Ball. The Glow Ball is tough enough to survive Cowboy's big, sharp chompers, yet it's soft enough to do no harm when it hits him in the face. The glow feature is a huge bonus, too. Cowboy gets distracted by chipmunks and squirrels when we're playing, so he sometimes can't remember where he dropped the ball to pursue the interloper. If the ball was exposed to enough light before it was misplaced, it will be easy to find once the sun goes down. (Otherwise, Cowboy always finds it eventually.) When I'm feeling nocturnal, I'll put the ball under a light for a few minutes to activate the electrons, then treat my boy to a middle-of-the-night game of fetch. I was so happy to see these on sale, I bought a lifetime supply for my pantry. The size guide seems accurate. ChuckIt recommended the large size for a dog of Cowboy's weight and that size is perfect. Highly recommended product.

Yes yes yes! Low calorie w/ no garbage ingredients
Size: 1 lbs
I am super picky when it comes to dog treats. Do my research and this treat has proven to be a great find for my pup. The minimal ingredient list is fantastic and there is no crap that shouldn’t be there. They are smaller pieces but look fresh and my dog cannot get enough! They are low calorie and great alternatives to other treats sold with fillers and chemicals that harm our fur babies! Highly recommend these. My dog eats them with vigor! Healthy snacks!

Great one ingredient treats
Size: 1 lbs
I love that these are one ingredient treats. The quality is great, my dogs love the taste, and their appearance looks great without a bunch of additives. The texture is nice and the ridges in the cuts do help with cleaning my dogs teeth a bit. They are fairly expensive for what they are. These are great if you don’t have the time to make your own.
