The Root: What books are you reading right now?

[BigMan]

i started reading because of reading up on Lee Kuan Yew after his death. I wanted to see his model on economic development in small nations. so far great read. small nations, especially the Caribbean and African ones should definitely look at the "Singapore model" to learn from

Guns of August. It's about WWI. Got a book on the civil war next. Battle Cry of Freedom.

You should read up on the deacons of defense. They came before the panthers and went blow for blow shot for shot with the kkk and ran them out the community.

Were you able to read it? What did you think?

I am going to be teaching classes perhaps and I'm thinking of having it as a required reading.
