The Last Mission is by Harry Mazer. It is a great historical fiction war story for boys. Jack Raab is a fifteen-year-old Jewish boy who uses his older brother's birth certificate to lie about his age and enlist in the Army Air Corp during WWII. The book tells the story of his training, his war experiences, and his homecoming. A great look at the effects of war on the soldiers involved. There is some serious profanity in this book; but it is typical of that used by soldier's in theater and not used for shock value.
Ratings: 8th grade - 8 out of 10 - P (profanity)
