Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 405 pages. A riveting memoir of years of living dangerously.- -Kirkus Reviews For the countless readers who have admired Phil ip Caputo's classic memoir of Vietnam, A Rumor of War, here is hi s powerful recounting of his life and adventures, updated with a foreword that assesses the state of the world and the journalist' s art. As a journalist, Caputo has covered many of the world's troubles, and in Means of Escape, he tells the reader in moving a nd clear-eyed prose how he made himself into a writer, traveler, and observer with the nerve to put himself at the center of the w orld's conflicts. As a young reporter he investigated the Mafia i n Chicago, earning acclaim as well as threats against his safety. Later, he rode camels through the desert and enjoyed Bedouin hos pitality, was kidnapped and held captive by Islamic extremists, a nd was targeted and hit by sniper fire in Beirut, with memories o f Vietnam never far from the surface. And after it all, he went i nto Afghanistan. Caputo's goal has always been to bear witness to the crimes, ambitions, fears, ferocities, and hopes of humanity. With Means of Escape, he has done so.
