“Every American should read this remarkable book by a remarkable man who fought as a Marine in Iraq while waging battle against poverty and violence in one of the world’s largest slums. Beautifully written, Barcott’s tale is cautionary — effecting real change in the world is never easy or cheap, and is often heartbreaking. But it is an equally inspirational story, showing that a small group of committed individuals, acting with courage, can make an enormous difference.”–Philip Caputo, author of A RUMOR OF WAR
“Perhaps most enlightening, this book offers new ways of thinking about the knot of challenges we--as a nation face, as well as individuals--from terrorism to poverty, AIDS, and corruption. It is a story about what is possible, and will be inspirational to new generations of leaders and public servants.” - RADM Paul T. Kayye, MC, USNR (Ret.)
