“The Peace Corps was innocent and inefficient”
― Riding the Iron Rooster: By Train Through China
― Riding the Iron Rooster: By Train Through China
“My experience in India had a profound impact on me, shaping my entire life in many ways. I begin the book in 1969 in the Peace Corps and close it with a return to my India family in 2003. The novelist Peggy Payne (Sister India) says in a blurb on the back cover, "India sojourns, vividly recounted, are the bookends for the story of one man's profound and inspiring change.”
