Danger: High Explosives!

A peaceful protest of the Vietnam War becomes a nightmare in this classic YA suspense novel by a New York Times–bestselling author.

Unrest is growing on the campus of a 1960s American university. The war in Vietnam is only getting worse, and the students have had enough. Newspaper editors, leaders, activists, members of the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps, and passersby all become caught up in the debate over whether the ROTC should be allowed on the school’s grounds. What begins as a peaceful protest of the war and the presence of the ROTC turns violent. The student body finds itself caught in a horrific debate that escalates from tense to explosive. Now everyone will have to choose a side . . . if they manage to survive.
