Stephen Galatti Director General of the American Field Service and the American Field Service International Scholarships is considered a notable example of a volunteer dedicated to the cause of humanity and improved world understanding. The growth and high reputation of the American Field Service is a direct reflection of his integrity and capacity and wisdom. Stephen Galatti volunteered in the American Field Service in 1915 and was decorated for bravery and outstanding service. It was primarily through his efforts that the American Field Service was held together during the period between the two World Wars and thanks to this that it was ready for the call of France in 1939 and for World War II. Subsequently under Stephen Galatti's leadership the American Field Service made the distinguished record about which you will read in this book. After World War II a meeting was held in New York at which the future of the American Field Service was discussed. It was the desire of those present that the organization should continue under Stephen Galatti's leadership to try to help international relations and in particular to interpret the vast and complex United States of America to our friends. No leader could have done it better. Platen Press - H. Wolff Book Mfg. Co. hardcover
