N2  - "Paul Cowan makes an early claim on the reader's trust. Charting his course Leftward, through terms in Israel, the civil-rights movement in Mississippi (1964), and the Peace Corps in Ecuador (1966-1967), he organizes his experiences as a disarming series of self-confrontations, dealing as severely with himself as he does with his opponents. Spurred on initially by the optimism and reformist zeal created by Kennedy's presidency, he discovered that sanctified liberal precepts are not easily unlearned. Exposing the development of his own attitudes, Paul Cowan also sheds light on the motives of this student generation. His indictment of the Peace Corps will strike home to thousands of young people in the humane professions who are disillusioned with official sponsorship of urgent causes." -- from the dust jacket
