The Life of Johnny Reb

If you ever wondered what it was like to fight for the CSA, this book is for you. It’s a detailed and scholarly description of the life of the common foot soldier in the Confederate Army. It got repetitive in the final 3rd of the book, but you’ll learn enough in the first 2/3 of the book to be happy.

Linchpin

Godin takes an interesting Fast Company article and tries to expand it into a book. It didn’t work for me. Find an article online and save the cash.
