In the 1960s, twenty-thousand young Americans landed in South America to serve as Peace Corps volunteers. Drawing on letters, diaries, reports, and newsletters created by volunteers themselves, Fernando Purcell shows how their experiences offer an invaluable perspective on local manifestations of the global Cold War.
