1967. The Cold War drags on. A hot war becomes even hotter, trusting it to the patriotism of American youth. But Harrison Hamblin answers a different call. To honor his ideals, he joins the Peace Corps as a teacher. He's the one who thinks that he knows a lot but will learn that he knows very little. The third world is choosing sides and angling for aid. Countries will play both sides and manipulate the idealists. And local internecine warfare will carry on as proxies for the Cold War antagonists. So how could Harry's efforts for peace and reconciliation lead to the death of friends and to tragedy and despair? "When a young Peace Corps volunteer is recruited for a second job, we are thrust into a new heart of darkness and light. A rich, thrilling LeCarre-esque journey into the tribal and geopolitical wars of 1960s Africa" (Kenneth W. Davis, professor emeritus of English, Indiana University).
