Masada: The Last Fortress by Gloria D. Miklowitz

 

This story is based on the true story of a group of about 1000 Jews who held out against the Roman army atop the fortress of Masada in the Jewish wilderness.  This story is told from the point of view of Simon, a 17 year old boy who struggles with friendship, love, and career in the midst of this epic struggle.  We have a nonfiction book about Masada as well which would provide good background knowledge.
