Holidays in Hell
by P. J. O’Rourke
From 1985-2000 P.J. O’Rourke was Rolling Stone’s foreign affairs desk chief and travelled around the world reporting on crises. “I wanted to know where trouble came from and why the world was such a lousy place,” he wrote, about his decision to leave National Lampoon, where he had started his writing career. In this book, he recounts his travels to Lebanon, South Korea, Panama, Poland, the Philippines and El Salvador, as well as South Carolina, where he is converted to Satanism.
