"Out of print for over 30 years, Alan Weiss's classic depiction of Peace Corps Training in the early 1960's when he was a member of a group trained at Colombia University for service in Nigeria remains a classic Peace Corps Memoir.
Sadly Mr. Weiss died in 1971 before he could realize his promise as a novelist."
