Fallen Angels by Walter Dean Myers
Fallen Angels is a Vietman-War story full of action, comedy, and drama. It is told from the point of view of a soldier named Richie Perry, a black man just out of high school. He had dreams of playing basketball until he injured his knee during a game. In order to keep his family out of the poor house, Perry joined the military, hoping not to get into too much combat due to his injury. That did not work out in his favor... By being sent to Vietnam, Perry gained some great friends and got a few more injuries on his plate, and learned many life lessons in the process. But the question is if he can survive until the end of the war? Surprisingly enough, Fallen Angels was a great book (in my opinion).
