Review Quotes: "Aaron Williams led the Peace Corps and embodies all its best values--decency, respect for others, and a generous spirit. In A Life Unimagined he makes the case for how we all benefit when countries work together to help those in greatest need. This is certainly a timely message these days when the world can sometimes seem unhinged. Aaron reminds us how their work has engendered goodwill for America in every region of the world. As my old boss Senator Ted Kennedy said, 'It's better to send in the Peace Corps than the Marine Corps.'"--JACK LESLIE, CHAIR, WEBER SHANDWICK
