| Summary | Annotation When John F. Kennedy urged Americans in 1961 to ask "what you can do for your country," young idealists flocked to join the newly formed Peace Corps. Designed to help the nations of the so-called third world replicate American-style prosperity and democracy, the Peace Corps sent out volunteers to apply traditional pioneer virtues to the "new frontiers" of Africa, Asia, and Latin America. |
