Acclaimed author Walter Dean Myers presents a compelling novel that looks at America's occupation of Iraq through the eyes of those who live it first hand. Charged with building up relations between the U.S. military and the Iraqi people, a team of soldiers strives to make real connections and bridge the divide between two very different cultures. On constant guard from frequent suicide bomb attacks and deadly skirmishes, their situation reveals a tragic human toll.©2008 Walter Dean Myers (P)2008 Recorded Books, LLC Historical Fiction Literature & Fiction

Great view on the effects of war.

Lets you to feel the fear, the confusion, the grieve. All well packaged in such a way that you find the confusing beauty a-mist the terror.

with a well rounded over arching theme.

Recommended if you are looking or a tear jerker with good emotion and character development.

Unexpectedly good

This makes modern warfare very real, and shows a young person's perspective. I don't take time to review a book unless it's really worthwhile.

one of the best I have read in recent years.

Sunrise Over Fallujah was an eye opening experience. It was powerful to hear the personal experiences of a soldier witnessing the dynamics of a war and the heartache.

Is there anything you would change about this book?

I just kept waiting for something to happen. There was nothing that really made me connect with the main character.

What could Walter Dean Myers have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

More character development. The underlying conflict between the soldier and his father never developed fully.

Was Sunrise Over Fallujah worth the listening time?

Sure, but it left me wondering why the book was written/published.

Any additional comments?

Not the moving account I had hoped for.

Still Waiting....

I decide to leave a review because of the true accounts I’ve witnessed by this book. This book could bring you to tears and even a couple of humorous moments in the story. At the same time it shows you the reality that our soldiers face while in war. The mental battles and the joy of brotherhood and building relationships . Though it was heart breaking. It helped open my eyes to the horror of war and the beauty of how brave our soldiers are. Though they selves might not even believe it. Happy Veterans Day 🫡🇺🇸🌎❤️🥹

Unbelievable.
