ABSTRACT

The conclusions in this book rest equally on four bodies of evidence that provide a comprehensive overview of the Peace Corps' major work from its creation in 1961, the first year of the New Frontier, to mid-1977, when the newly elected Carter administration was considering how best to restore the agency to prominence here and abroad.
