A great job I am astonished at how detailed and thorough this work is. David Searles, author of The Peace Corps Experience: Challenge and Change, 1969-1976

Useful for anyone interested in the Peace Corps, this easy-to-read book includes all notable activities related to America s most iconic program. It describes the first half century of service during which more than 200,000 Americans volunteered to work in 139 countries. Inspired by JFK s inaugural call- Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country - volunteers from all 50 states traveled to tropical cloud forests, savannahs, prairies, deserts and frigid mountainous steppes to learn a new language and lend a hand.
