Death or Glory Boys — Theresa Breslin

A terrorist bomb shatters their bright, safe world of school and friends and Saturday shopping trips, and suddenly Sarah and Phil find themselves divided. Is Phil a pacifist at any price? When Sarah decides to join the Army Cadet orientation course, Phil is stunned -- "You're joking. Join the Death or Glory Boys?" And always near, moving in a terrible dance of death, is Cal, waiting to bomb again. A terrifying thriller that challenges our response to terrorism, and to soldiers fighting to keep the peace with the weapons of war.
