The Toughest Job: The Crossroads Of One Man'S Peace Corps

In 1995, a young civil engineer volunteers for the Peace Corps in Cote d'Ivoire, West Africa. He encounters extreme poverty, harsh conditions, religious differences, and political turmoil. He endures polluted water and suspect food, debilitating illness and perpetual frustration, police bribes and widespread corruption, a hunt for bad sorcerers, a run-in with the Taureg Freedom Fighters, being stranded in the middle of a 465,000 acre national park with large African predators, an attack from a sacred mask, and a visit from a deadly green mamba. The Toughest Job is a window into the unique world of the Peace Corps volunteer and the challenges they must face to carry out their lofty mission.
