Can't remember the name of a book?

Question

When I was younger I remember a book about a school in California where a teacher started a secret club and by the end he told his club that had it been world war 2 they would basically have been the nazi's. For the life of me I can't remember the name of the book.

Answer 1

I think you're referring to The Wave byTodd Strasser (under the pen name Morton Rhue). I've posted the link from wiki-pedia.

Answer 2

That's definately "The Wave" by Todd Strasser.
