Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0679741739, Paperback)

This is a source book for anyone trying to think about how to make a difference in inner-city America. It is a story of reformers and ideas, of the Salvation Army and the Fabian Society, of high idealism and moral chivalry coupled with naivete and roaring eccentricity.
