description: In Peace Reality, Dr. Bill Curlott tells of a retired business educator who decides to volunteer for the Peace Corps in Ukraine. Dr. Curlott grew up during the Great Depression of the 1930s, lived in Atlantic City at a time when "gangsters frolicked," and served three years in the U.S. Marine Corps during Korea. After scaling academic heights, he was still " a blue-collar guy with white-collar labels." As a retired professor at age sixty-two, he sought a new challenge, a desire to use his expertise in Business Education to help the struggling country of Ukraine, where the Marxist theories of determinism were still being taught. What difficulties would he face in trying to present a free-enterprise curriculum? Here is a thoughtful and informative autographical novel with much to say about education and miseducation in the Peace Corps.
