![]() ![]() He fought beside them and watched them bleed and die. He led men in combat in the treacherous jungles of Vietnam. His great Vietnam War memoir, A Rumor of War, is considered a classic. Few have lived such a life and few can write as well as he does. The man has had a hell of a wild ride all over the world, sometimes in extreme danger. I could not read Philip Caputo’s new book The Longest Road: Overland from Key West to the Arctic Ocean without reflecting on his extraordinary life. What he found is a story that will entertain and inspire readers as much as it informs them about the state of today's United States, the glue that holds us all together, and the conflicts that could cause us to pull apart. He spoke to everyone from a West Virginia couple saving souls to a Native American shaman and taco entrepreneur. ![]() So it was that in 2011, in an America more divided than in living memory, Caputo, his wife, and their two English setters made their way in a truck and classic trailer (hereafter known as "Fred" and "Ethel") from Key West, Florida, to Deadhorse, Alaska, covering 16,000 miles. And a question began to take shape: How does the United States, peopled by every race on earth, remain united? Caputo resolved that one day he'd drive from the nation's southernmost point to the northernmost point reachable by road, talking to everyday Americans about their lives and asking how they would answer his question.

Hosted by 44 Bytes.In The Longest Road, one of America's most respected writers takes an epic journey across America, Airstream in tow, and asks everyday Americans what unites and divides a country as endlessly diverse as it is large. © 2023 Hookshot Media, partner of ReedPop.
