It is a comprehensive 600+ pages. One of the harder 600 pages I've read in awhile, not from technical sophistication, but because the subject matter filled me with such shame of my fellow 'Muricans and my incredulity at what was going on right under our noses.
In the 80's I spent three years in Honduras (village of Mocoron) working to help refugees fleeing the socialist regime of the Sandinistas, personally unconcerned about the political issues. The men and women I met there, the hands-on doctors, agrarians, and managers were great; but the UN staff was decidedly anti-American and anti-republic and vehemently insultingly anti-Christian.
Working vis a vie World Relief, we simply managed the funds that the UN was determined to mis-spend, on helping people eat, drink clean water, learn how to manage effluent.
And tried not to get dysentery more than once every couple months.
So I order the book, the least expensive one I found was through Walmart, I ordered the other day and I just received a message that my order was cancelled and they are not returning my money, they are offering a gift card instead. This is not right - I don't shop at walmart so they are forcing me to do so at the local walmart store. I'm a little pissed off to say the least.
That would definitely frost my chota. We try to not feed the beast, but sometimes we get taken the long way to nowhere when we stick our toes in the water.
I bought mine online, Amazon... I live 150 miles from any place to shop, but take a ton of crap for giving my $$ to Bezos from family in LA.
We just try to make up for it (buying through the enterprises that was the first and last nail in the coffin containing American small businesses) every other way we can.
Thanks, just ordered the book. Cheers
