I'm no expert and haven't looked into this much, but I detected two problems with the review of the book, or the book itself (can't tell which):
1. The reviewer says the author doesn't think it's a global conspiracy. Then the reviewer/author goes on to discuss the UN role. If it's a crime (and it is, under the Nuremberg Code, drafted inidentally by Ewen Cameron at the war crimes tribunal), and it's planned in advance by more than one person, it's a conspiracy. If the UN is doing it, it's global.
2. The reviewer/author says the depopulation movement began to receive more support from the wealthy after WWII. My cursory readings tell me that this isn't exactly true. The wealthy elite supported it from the beginning, and it reached its heyday in the eugenics movement of the 20s and 30s. China was one of the big boogeymen, everyone pointed at the "yellow peril" and made grave pronouncments on being outnumbered by "chinamen." "Triracial ioslates" such as the backwoods inhabitants of the New Jersey Pine Barrens were singled out for special handling as well. The war discredited the idea of eugenics, and it was rebranded as family planning, but the political and financial supporters didn't radically change, from what I've read.

Quote:FOREWORD--Robert W. Chambers, The Gay Rebellion, 1913.
The attention of the civilized world is, at present, concentrated upon
The Science of Eugenics. The author sincerely trusts that this important
contribution to the data now being so earnestly nosed out and gathered,
may aid his fellow students, scientifically, politically and
anthropologically.
