A powerful new novel about the heroics and horror of war from Walter Dean Myers, whose bestselling book FALLEN ANGELS celebrates its 20th anniversary.
Operation Iraqi Freedom, that's the code name. But the young men and women in the military's Civil Affairs Battalion have a simpler name for it: WAR.
In this new novel, Walter Dean Myers looks at a contemporary war with the same power and searing insight he brought to the Vietnam war of his classic, FALLEN ANGELS. He creates memorable characters like the book's narrator, Birdy, a young recruit from Harlem who's questioning why he even enlisted; Marla, a blond, tough-talking, wisecracking gunner; Jonesy, a guitar-playing bluesman who just wants to make it back to Georgia and open a club;

Review
Robin's parents aspire for him to go to college, but following September 11, he feels compelled to join the Army instead. By early 2003, Robin has completed Basic Training and is deployed to Iraq where he becomes part of a Civil Affairs Unit charged with building the trust of the Iraqi people to minimize fighting. Civil Affairs soldiers are often put into deadly situations to test the waters, and Robin finds that the people in his unit, who nickname him "Birdy," are the only ones he can trust. Robin quickly learns that the situation in Iraq will not be resolved easily and that much of what is happening there will never make the news. Facing the horrors of war, Robin tries to remain hopeful and comforting in his letters to his family, never showing his fear or the danger he actually faces. The story of teenagers going to war today is an important one, and it is not told often enough. Myers writes an important book to have in any collection to recognize that many teens will choose to join the military instead of, or before, going on to college. Robin is only eighteen, and it is difficult to watch his innocence erased as war leaves its mark on him, but it is the reality for many young men and women. This fine book could be included with a unit on current events and is a good choice for boys. Reviewer: Stephanie Petruso
April 2008 (Vol. 31, No. 1) --Voya
In 2003, in the early days of Operation Iraqi Freedom, young Robin Perry already wonders about "an enemy we can't identify and friends we're not sure about." Myers dedicates this novel to the men and women who serve in the United States Armed Services and to their families, and he offers a powerful study of the strange war they have been sent to fight, where confusion and randomness rule. Why are they fighting? Whom are they fighting? When will they be hit next? Narrated by Robin, nephew of Richie Perry, the main character of the landmark Fallen Angels (1988), this companion expertly evokes the beauty of Iraq and the ugliness of war. Given the paucity of works on this war, this is an important volume, covering much ground and offering much insight. Robin's eventual understanding that his experience was not about winning or losing the war but about "reaching for the highest idea of life" makes this a worthy successor to Myers's Coretta Scott King Award-winning classic.

A compelling and realistic read
By War Witch
Several times while reading this book I had to stop and remind myself that this was a novel and a work of fiction. Walter Dean Myers captures the very essence of the early days of Operation Iraqi Freedom. As a Member of an Army Transportation Unit deployed to Iraq from April of 2003 to May of 2004, I recognized many of the sights and sounds (and even the smells) brought to life by the author.
War is a challenge for the best of us, and the young people depicted in this novel are no different than those that I had the privilege of serving with. This book is not a political statement, but instead a glimpse into the very life of the first OIF soldiers. For those who believe that Mr. Myers characters are whiny and unprofessional, I am here to tell you that you worry more about soldiers when they cease to complain. For that is the very first clue that your troops have lost their drive and their will to survive.
I would recommend this book to any young person who is considering joining the military, and I salute Mr. Myers for a first rate book and also Scholastic for printing such a timely and profound piece.

The Sunrise over Fallujah is mostly about Robin Birdy Perry, a new army recruit, from Harlem. He is not sure why he joined the army. He goes with his unit in there melatary basic training. So some of the charters are Marla, the witty gunner, Captain Coles, the ever cool career man, Jones, the funny guitar- picking blues player, victor, and a exgangbanger and captain miller, and a thoughtful and understanding doctor.
The people on the other side of these is calling it operation Iraqi freedom but the men and woman at the basic that there in it is called war. Then Robin learns about the cities culture but he still does not understand and he learners winning just becomes surviving are great nation and not just saying he is a hero he is a hero. They go back to there families, and friends and shows off his metals. Then he goes back to war, and serves his year in the army.
I wood recommend this book to all 11 and 12 year olds or older because, there are so many hard words in this book that if your not a great reader your will get lost. You would not get the concept of this very good book. I think they should have a sequel because, the book leaves you wanting more, and it ends in away that you want to make your own ending or what's going to happen. I pick this book because of it's had action and humor.

IF YOU HAVENT READ THIS BOOK YOU'RE CRAZY
By Mrs. J.
Sunrise over Fallujah is a really really good book. It is a definite 5 stars. It is realistic fiction and from my uncles stories it follows the war pretty good. I can really connect the main character "Birdy" to my uncle who was in the war. The antagonists were the Iraqis. The protagonists, Birdy and his friends were from America in the Iraq war. I read the book Fallen Angels but this book is still better than it.
Robin,or Birdy as his friends call him, writes letters to his uncle who was in the Vietnam War. Birdy is faced with challenges of the war. He watched a civilian die, his friend get shot and he was shot at. Walter Dean Myers really makes the book show a little of how the war is really happening over there.
This book is more for teenagers but even my dad read it so it could be for anyone. I hope Walter Dean Myers makes another book about the end of the Iraq war with Birdy reunited with his uncle and starts his own family.
