Carolina Alumni Review - January/February 2010

Requiem by Fire
by Wayne Caldwell ’ 69

Caldwell reopens the door to Cataloochee in this critically acclaimed Appalachian sequel. In the late 1920s, nearly 1, 100 farmers call this Great Smoky Mountains settlement home. But they now face two options: Sell their land to the federal government for a national park or stay behind at their own risk. The interaction between those resisting and those willing to embrace change leads to thorny and amusing predicaments. This is a timeless tale of Southern survival and change by the winner of the Review’s first fiction contest, held in 1999.

A Vietnam War Reader:
A Documentary History
From American and Vietnamese
Perspectives

by Michael H. Hunt
Hunt brings together American and
Vietnamese perspectives of the Vietnam
War — from Communist leaders,Viet-
namese peasants, Saigon loyalists and
North Vietnamese soldiers to U.S. policy-
makers, soldiers and critics of the war —
to explore how the complex conflict
affected the lives of many in social and
political spheres. This collection of pri-
mary sources reminds readers that the
struggle lasted much longer than the
decade of direct U.S. combat. Hunt is the
Everett H. Emerson Professor of history
emeritus at UNC.

People toast our Eggs Benedict. And tell us our homemade desserts suggest a 5-Star restaurant. But at Croasdaile Village, the story is not in the appeal of our meals. The real story is the residents with whom you share the meals.
