Rebel is the first complete biography of Col. John S. Mosby; one of the Confederacy's best-known practitioners of guerrilla warfare. The book not only covers his early life and wartime exploits; but also delves into his postwar life; breaking new ground in the process. Mosby; one-time nemesis of the U.S. government; not only became a staunch Republican and the friend of Republican presidents; but also went on to serve in crusading positions as U.S. consul in Hong Kong; as a Land Office special agent in Nebraska and Alabama; and as an attorney in the U.S. Department of Justice. A fighter for much of his long life; he was nonetheless thoroughly revolted by the carnage being perpetrated in Europe as he approached his death in 1916.

Being on that marvelous trip to Ethiopia during the church's bi-centennial and learning of our past history; this book sums up the feelings for Ethiopia and shows how far we've come. A true chronology of where we are today. I would recommend this book to any interested in the history of our great churches.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. I LOVE MY CHURCH!By N.
