Fallen Angels by Walter Dean Myers

This book was actually assighned to me to read in my American Literature class, and I'm glad it was. This novel is a good example of warfare literature while also showing the troubles in the country at the time of WWII. The main character of the story is Richie Perry, a young black american sent to fight in the Vietnam War. There he is faced with violence, rascism, and loss. It is a heartwrenching story that any would benefit from reading it.
