Fallen Angels

Fallen Angels

Pg.1-100/235

Fallen Angels is a book about a 17 year old, Perry, who is not able to go to collage or get a job in the U.S. so he has no choice but to enlist in the army an go to vietnam. To this point it is an incredibly good insight into the Vietnam war. They use terms such as: Charlie, VC, barracks, NVA, ARVN, Congs, etc. I studied the vietnam war in some free time of mine and so far I have found it very accurate.

The story begins as private “Perry”, as he is called, heads over on a plane to vietnam after his months of training. His first impressions were that it was humid and unbearable but after a few weeks, he is transferred to Saigon(Ho Cho Min City) where he gets used to the heat. He than Starts his first tour of vietnam from there and travels to Da Nang and has his first encounter with a causality. So far than it is a good story and i will read the next 100 for the next blog.
