We read that at our school. Great book. We read Night also. It's kind of a dark year, sophomore year- Macbeth, Julius Caesar, Night, Animal Farm, (Hiroshima- optional), and Lord of the Flies (with Separate Peace if you can squeeze it in).

I agree about Hersey's book. Also, the same about the movie: "The Thin Red Line" which only got a 78 on Rotten....I think it is a 105. The 'waiting for the enemy' created unbearable tension at times. Jim Caveziel was more Christ-like in this movie than in Mel Gibson's. At the end it does not take a moral position as to which side is more right.

The Quiet American does the same for Cambodia/Viet Nam.
