After the First Death

By Robert Cormier

Events of the hijacking of a bus of children by terrorists seeking the return of their homeland are described from the perspectives of a hostage, a terrorist, an Army general involved in the rescue operation, and his son, chosen as the go-between. Cormier's brilliantly crafted and troubling novels have achieved the status of classics in young adult literature.
