101 Arabian Tales is available on Amazon, with dozens of five-star ratings. 

“I have read dozens of Peace Corps memoirs and always find the impact of service on the individual writer to be profound. However, this memoir contains not just the memories and observations of one volunteer but of one hundred. It is therefore that much more authoritative.”

 

            —Robert E. Gribbin, III

            Ambassador to Rwanda and Central      African Republic

            Peace Corps Volunteer—Kenya

“Randy Hobler has written the best memoir of a Peace Corps experience that I have ever read. His amazingly detailed book instantly grips the reader by putting Libya in its properly rich and unique historical perspective. Everyone should read this book, to enjoy its humor as well as its insights.  Bravo to Randy Hobler for all the hard work and writing talent that has resulted in this unparalleled but eminently readable chronicle of a time and place lost forever.”

 

            —Niels Marquardt

            Ambassador to Equatorial Guinea, Cameroon, Madagascar and the Union of the Comoros

            Peace Corps Volunteer—Zaire and Rwanda

“A magnum opus!” I must remark that the level of detail in terms of time, places and people is remarkable. This book does remind one how living in utter simplicity has beauty and how uncluttered time leads to clarity.”

 

            —Nicholas Craw

            Peace Corps Director, 1973—1974
