Terrorist: Gavrilo Princip, the Assassin Who Ignited World War I (Fiction - Young Adult)

I am not a criminal, because I destroyed that which was evil.

I think that I'm good."—Gavrilo Princip, October 23, 1914.

This much we know: On June 28, 1914, a young man stood on a street corner in Sarajevo, aimed a pistol into a stalled car carrying Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, and pulled the trigger.

Within a few minutes, the archduke was dead, and Europe would not know peace again for five years.

More than 16 million people would die in the fighting that came to be known as World War I.
