"Service Without Guns"--by Donald J. Eberly and Reuven Gal with a guest chapter by Michael Sherraden--notes the many similarities between military service and civilian National Youth Service (NYS) and concludes that NYS can and should become as large and influential in the 21st Century as military service was in the 20th. The book examines the growing trend toward NYS around the world, identifies the elements of good practice for NYS, describes the global roots of service-learning, cites examples of roles for NYS in post conflict and post-disaster situations, and recommends a number of practical measures for advancing NYS.
