ssindc 's review for:
Fallen Angels
by Walter Dean Myers
War - through the eyes of the young soldier - isn't pretty or glamorous or even honorable. Rather it's terrifying and chaotic and frustrating and, at times, boring and inexplicable. This book - intended for younger readers - offers a useful, instructive perspective for kids who think that war is about good and evil and heroes and villians. As a generation of American soldiers (volunteers, of course) experience Iraq and Afghanistan (the former which the author tackles in Sunrise Over Fallujah), this book - a classic Vietnam tale - has been re-released and again gained popularity - deservedly so.
