War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning by Chris Hedges. I read it, damn, over 10 years ago when I was a sophomore/junior in high school. I can't even remember too much from the book but that's not the point. This book blew apart my adolescent brain and sent me on a quest for knowledge. I had an awesome US History teacher that politely entertained my ideas and passed on books/authors/research to me. I'm so glad I read that book, even though much of Hedges' current work and views on religion makes me cringe. This was the spark that got me going.
