"When the World Calls" is the first complete and balanced look at
the Peace Corps's first fifty years. Revelatory and candid,
journalist Stanley Meisler's engaging narrative exposes Washington
infighting, presidential influence, and the Volunteers' unique
struggles abroad. He deftly unpacks the complicated history with
sharp analysis and memorable anecdotes, taking readers on a global
trek starting with the historic first contingent of Volunteers to
Ghana on August 30, 1961. In the years since, in spite of setbacks,
the ethos of the Peace Corps has endured, largely due to the
perseverance of the 200,000 Volunteers themselves, whose shared
commitment to effect positive global change has been a constant in
one of our most complex--and valued--institutions.
