Amazon.com: When the World Calls: The Inside Story of the Peace Corps and Its First Fifty Years 9780807050491: Stanley Meisler: Books. This was well written but a little too much detail. I felt overwhelmed with facts and sometimes felt the narrative was lost. Still he is a good writer and if you have an interest you will enjoy this book. I’m on the fence with a recommendation. It is hard to imagine people are this committed to Peace Corp history.
