Title: He got it wrong
Product review: As a volunteer with Mr. Packer in Togo, I was thrilled when the book came out , bought it, and was quickly discouraged to read such a cheap shot at the Peace Corps and Togo. Clearly he is an excellent writer. Unfortunately he used his talent to paint an inaccurate picture of the Peace Corps in Togo and the Togolese people. Perhaps it is because he did very little during his limited service in the Peace Corps in Togo, and in fact left before the end of his service; indeed, it is often in the second year that volunteers have their "aha" moments as reality falls into place and it becomes easier to make sense of a culture so different from your own.
