The stories of the men and women who let their lives speak through the channel of the American Friends Service Committee are always uplifting. That of the volunteers who went to Russia ... to relieve famine and help men, women and children rebuild their lives is especially so. The authors have done us a great service in putting together for the first time the complete story of this service of love in war and peacetime. -- Margaret Hope Bacon, Quaker Historian
