All the Trouble in the World: The Lighter Side of Overpopulation, Famine, Ecological Disaster, Ethnic Hatred, Plague, and Poverty

This is a paperback, not hardback edition.
I found that O'Rourke does a good job of making complicated issues understandable and funny.

Excellent information, very well written. Made me angry, that I did not learn the full story behind the French Revolution in school. I did not understand until now why or when religion, particulary Christianity had been so demonized/diminished in western Europe.
I recommend that anyone who cares about our country and the dangerous trajectory of our runaway government and the liberal media who are complicit in destroying the USA, READ THIS BOOK.

I loved this book. She has a wonderful, simple, funny writing style and is very relatable. I have spent significant time in Italy and India, so it was a wonderful way for me to revisit those places. thank you Elizabeth!


A Higher Call: An Incredible True Story of Combat and Chivalry in the War-Torn Skies of World War II
Review Date: 6/21/2021


What an incredible story-for those who are drawn to the courage & bravery of the greatest generation & WWII stories, this is one that pulls you in and leaves you amazed at the many miracles God did for some very lucky Americans & a German fighter pilot who followed A Higher Call.
Author Adam Makos presents alternating stories of the Air Forces of the Allies & the Germans, and the humanity of both bands of brothers, as they tried to do the right thing in an impossible time of war with its' conflicting ideas of what was 'right' and true in that horrible time. Makos admits from the jump that he never expected to tell this story, but that it unfolded as he learned the story, and challenged his beliefs about the 'enemy'-that not all German soldiers were Nazis. You'll want to learn more -

Having enjoyed Dan Brown's earlier books, I was horrified at the ending of this one-the moral 'rescue' he is espousing in this book is disturbing. I won't give away the ending, but the his 'solution' and pushing of the global population 'crisis' narrative were unbelievable to me. Dan Brown should stop playing God-or telling the reader how we should be fooled by the lack of ethics in his science/technology as God ending. Per Brown's solution, the next great scientist, world leader, etc. would likely not be born at all.

I read this as a book club choice. I was intrigued by the story; helped me to gain insight into the Asian front of WWII.
