In Service to America a History of Vista in Arkansas, 1965-1985 (C) Hardcover - 1988
by Marvin Schwartz
From the jacket flap
As part of President Johnson's War on Poverty, VISTA volunteers in the 1960s began fanning out across the United States to try to break the cycle of poverty in which many Americans were caught. This work takes a close look at the effect these volunteers had on Arkansas communities and, in turn, the effect the communities had on the volunteers.
