Description: Sargent Shriver was President John Kennedy's brother-in-law, who was appointed to organize the Peace Corps. This first book from Sargent Shriver tells of his early involvement in the politics of service, the evolution of the Corps out of the 1960 campaign, and the actual setting up of the Corps behind the scenes. The meaning of the title "Point of the Lance" comes from a quote by the Minister of National Economy in Bolivia, Senor Gumucio. He told Mr. Shriver, "The Peace Corps is your punta de lanza - the point of your lance." The lance was a political one, representing the force and ideas of people in action. 240 pages, illustratedFIRST EDITION
