Who is the narrator, can she or he read minds, and, more importantly, can we trust her or him?
First Person (Central Narrator) / Birdy
The narrative point of view in Sunrise Over Fallujah is as straight as a line of soldiers standing at attention: it's all Birdy, all the time.
Robin (a.k.a Birdy) is a private, the army's lowest enlisted rank, so his perspective is very limited. Birdy doesn't get a full explanation of the politics in Iraq, or the reasoning behind his orders. He just receives orders and has to carry them out.
What we do get by seeing the war through Birdy's eyes is a lot of confusion. That confusion is just a little bit alarming, because Birdy, like many real-life privates, is doing a lot of the day-to-day work of the war.
But that's all just part of how Myers brings the story to life.
