Book Review of Babylon's Ark: The Incredible Wartime Rescue of the Baghdad Zoo

The story told in this book demonstrates that one person can make a difference. I very much enjoyed reading about the author's efforts to save the zoo animals in Iraq, and the book was full of likeable humans too. Subtracting half a star because in the acknowledgements he pays tribute to L. Ron Hubbard and confirmed in an interview with The Guardian that he is a Scientologist, and that is weird.
