A review by thesubmariner
Company of Cowards by Jack Schaefer

4.0

Inspired by an article by William Chamberlain from 1956 about "Company Q" that was formed during the Civil War, composed of coward soldiers that were given a second chance to prove their worth. This reminds of the Dirty dozen in which cases were soldiers sentenced to jail or execution that was also inspired by the real-life Filthy Thirteen. A good novella, but I have enjoyed more while reading The Canyon and Shane.
