There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.

My point was not that those things happened so long ago, but that people my age (and presumably the OP's as well) don't have a major world history event to relate this to personally, making it hard to accept the gruesome reality.
