Rotting feet. Sticky forehead, arms, legs, and back. Haunting screams. Devastating visions. Walter Dean Meyers brings the Vietnam war into the present in the this tale about a young Black man's service. I tasted, felt, heard, and smelled the battle when I first read Fallen Angels. Well chosen words convey the bitterness of war more profoundly than any movie ever could.
