I would take it one step further. No college or university offers a course in the history of the Peace Corps. I think that they should.

Way to go! I would take it one step further. No college or university offers a course in the history of the Peace Corps. I think that they should.

There is much misinformation about the history of the Peace Corps.

In 2008 when I marked my own book "Peace Corps Books" the category did not yet exist and I had iUniverse heavies promote the idea to create such a section. In the beginning, there were just a few pages of listings. This is really cool! I have been using the internet to investigate American university history courses. I cannot find even one that mentions the Peace Corps as part of the 20th century American experience. That is my new project: to convince some departments to include unarmed foreign policy in discussions. Anyone is welcome to join in. What the hey. There are plenty of books on the topic as well as hundreds of colleges and universities to choose from.
