About this product

Product Information

The Wave is based on a true incident that occured in a high school history class in Palo Alto, California, in 1969. The powerful forces of group pressure that pervaded many historic movements such as Nazism are recreated in the classroom when history teacher Burt Ross introduces a "new" system to his students. And before long "The Wave," with its rules of "strength through discipline, community, and action, " sweeps from the classroom through the entire school. And as most of the students join the movement, Laurie Saunders and David Collins recognize the frightening momentum of "The Wave" and realize they must stop it before it's too late.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

When the book "The Wave" and the subsequent after-school special came out in the early '80s, I was in the 7th grade and neither knew much nor cared about the Third Reich or The Holocaust. Sure, I'd heard of it, who hadn't? We were beyond that now...right? Time proves naivete wrong. Since then, there's been more so-called "orders" and genocides in various places the world over, proving that history will indeed teach us nothing. That's the perilous edge that the history class at a Palo Alto, California school of 1969 not only found themselves on, but eventually found themselves over, being none the smarter for it. What had started as a simple classroom experiment had blossomed into an exercise of supreme control and intoxicating power that even the teacher had found himself swept into. The ... When the book "The Wave" and the subsequent after-school special came out in the early '80s, I was in the 7th grade and neither knew much nor cared about the Third Reich or The Holocaust. Sure, I'd heard of it, who hadn't? We were beyond that now...right? Time proves naivete wrong. Since then, there's been more so-called "orders" and genocides in various places the world over, proving that history will indeed teach us nothing. That's the perilous edge that the history class at a Palo Alto, California school of 1969 not only found themselves on, but eventually found themselves over, being none the smarter for it. What had started as a simple classroom experiment had blossomed into an exercise of supreme control and intoxicating power that even the teacher had found himself swept into. The promise of simplicity, things predetermined and predecided by rote and rule, the elimination of individual thought and personal conscience...all cleverly snuck into a classroom environment as easily as undesired vegetables in a soup or drink, served to an unsuspecting child. In the end, individual thought saves the day, in the form of a directly-involved pupil, who, in turn, is able to help another swept-away student see and understand the gross error of this experiment and its Third-Reich inspiration, and together they confront a teacher who now sees how far out of control this experiment has become. I won't spoil the ending, but will tell you that this is just as essential reading as "Animal Farm" and "Fahrenheit 451", both of which deal with the same subject matter: simplicity and control of the masses, as well as the struggle for the survival of independent thinking. Indeed, in the end, the last altered commandment from "Animal Farm" comes to mind: "All animals are created equal, but some animals are created more equal than others". Author Todd Strasser has taken his talent and presented it in an easy-to-read-and-understand format for young minds and kept it relevant and brief for the short attention spans often associated with youth. In that, Mr. Strasser can be safely placed among the greats of our time with "The Wave". The book serves as a clear, succinct, relevant and needed reminder that lessons of our past need to be constantly revisited in hopes that they can be prevented from occurring again. But can they?

Holocaust all over again minus blood
This book was interestingly good. What throws me off is that it was based on a true story. A history teacher at a High School in Palo Alto, California. decided to teach his students a lesson on what could happen and how the reign of the Nazi Regime really got into people's heads. I do think that maybe the ways the story was written was a bit middle school for me. I was thinking that maybe it was to be more in depth but, I was quite wrong. Either way the story was well told. A tiny bit inaccurate as I have looked into the actual story of what really happened but not too off course.This book was interestingly good. What throws me off is that it was based on a true story.

Great YA Read
Wonderful way for young adults to learn about riot behavior and going along with the crowd. Helps explain how things happen to good people and why. I recommend this book for anyone (adults included) over the age of 12.

Why Did Hitler's Regime Thrive?
This book is so easy to read that a fourth grader could read it. However it does illustrate the answer to the above title. It is fascinating and I learned a lot. I'm hanging onto this book as a reference because often I hear the question about how is that that people allowed Hitler to reign? Why wasn't he stopped sooner? Read it and you'll know.

The Wave by Todd Strasser
I watched the movie "The Wave" in my history class and found there is a book. I bought it and read the 130ish page book in within in two days of getting it. It was very similar to the movie. In fact it was line by line except the book included some stuff the movie did not. You can watch the movie on Google Videos but the book is better.
