Fallen Angels by Walter Dean Myers

3.0

---

This book had me holding my breath for most of it. Myers does not shy away at all the true brutality of war. Perry, our MC, got into the war because he didn’t know what else to do. He meets and loses men to the horrors of war. He sees and experiences death and destruction and pain. This book hurt to read, but I think it did a good job of depicting the hell that the Vietnam War was.
