The Wave: Based on a True Story by Ron Johns-the classroom experiment that went too far Audiobook (Free)

The Wave is based on a genuine incident that occured in a high school history class in Palo Alto, California, in 1969. The effective forces of group pressure that pervaded many historical movements such as for example Nazism are recreated in the class when history instructor Burt Ross presents a ‘brand-new’ system to his students. And before long ‘The Wave,’ with its guidelines of ‘power through discipline, community, and action, ‘ sweeps from the classroom through the whole school. And as most of the college students join the motion, Laurie Saunders and David Collins acknowledge the terrifying momentum of ‘The Wave’ and recognize they must end it before it’s too late.
