In A Rumor of War, the story is based on a man own expirences. The author (the soldier in the book) doesnt really use many figurative forms of writing. He instead tells you how it happened as if you were there with him. Since its an auto biography, your getting all of his feeling and emotions of the war from his point of veiw, which helps convey the story and actions in the story.
You understand why he does something or why he would do something. You begin to understand the soldiers more. At the end of a chapter, his platoon is destroying a village that housed Viuet Cong. As this is all happening he describes his men as mad animals, but its just ified when you relize why. They were all learning to hate, as the auther put it. This village aided men who wanted to kill them. They wanted justification. They wanted revenge.

This book seems very interesting. Sounds like A very suspenseful and exciting book. It seems that the book helps explain what war is like. Correct me if I am wrong.
