Die Welle by Morton Rhue
In a high school history class, a teacher conducts an experiment to demonstrate the allure and dangers of authoritarianism. The project, initially intended to illustrate the rise of Nazism, quickly spirals out of control as students become increasingly absorbed in the movement, adopting strict discipline, unity, and a sense of superiority. As the experiment unfolds, it reveals the ease with which individuals can be swayed by charismatic leadership and the seductive power of group identity, ultimately leading to a chilling realization of the potential for history to repeat itself.
