FC Now reader Ike Eslao recommends Eric Hoffer's The True Believer as a book that explains some of the roles of misfits and minorities. I read the book early last year and recommend it -- particularly in terms of understand some of the terrorists and militants involved in the current actions around the world.

For some solid insight on misfits in the workplace, you might find Watts Wacker and Ryan Mathews' The Deviant's Advantage of use. We featured them in the March 2002 issue.
