Rating: 4.5/5 Stars

Practical, straightforward advice
(Decatur, GA USA) February 26, 2002 - 4.0/5 stars

This book is the only one of its type that I have found, and is a thorough resource for those considering joining the Peace Corps.

Much of it is practical advice for when you are actually a Peace Corps Volunteer serving overseas. However, it can be quite useful if you are just considering joining, as it gives you a good look at the realities of serving in the Peace Corps.

I have read it cover to cover and still have many un-answered questions about life in the Peace Corps, but it did address many of my concerns in a realistic way. The question-and-answer format makes it exceedingly easy to read and find the answer to FAQ's of prospective Peace Corps Volunteers.

However, I felt the book was too short and would have liked to know much more than was printed.

Overall, it's an excellent starting resource for anyone considering joining the Peace Corps, or those who have already joined and are waiting to leave for their assignment.

This book fills a certain need among Peace Corps applicants. Questions are typically answered with huge, sweeping generalizations within the PC world. Banerjee goes a long way in his attempt to quell the anxiety felt... read full review
