The Strange Death of Europe: Immigration, Identity, Islam

Murray takes a step back at each stage and looks at the bigger and deeper issues which lie behind a continent's possible demise, from an atmosphere of mass terror attacks to the steady erosion of our freedoms. But perhaps Spengler was right: 'civilizations, like humans, are born, briefly flourish, decay, and die'.. It includes accounts based on travels across the entire continent, from the places where migrants land to the places they end up, from the people who pretend they want them to the places which cannot accept them. This is not just an analysis of demographic and political realities; it is also an eyewitness account of a continent in self-destruct mode. This sharp and incisive audiobook ends up with two visions for a new Europe - one hopeful, one pessimistic - which paint a picture of Europe in crisis and offer a choice as to what, if anything, we can do next. The Strange Death of Europe is a highly personal account of a continent and culture caught in the act of suicide. Declining birth rates, mass immigration, and cultivated self-distrust and self-hatred have c

His pessimism about multiculturalism is so well constructed and written it is almost uplifting. That it is written with Douglas Murray's usual literary elegance and waspish humour does not make it any less depressing. * Melanie Phillips, The Times * Breathtakingly gripping * Michael Gove, Standpoint * A cogent summary of how, over three decades or more, elites across western Europe turned a blind eye to the failures of integration and the rise of Islamism Persuasive * The Times * This is a vitally important book, the contents of which should be known to everyone who can influence the course of events, at this critical time in the history of Europe. * Rod Liddle, Sunday Times * His overall thesis, that a guilt-driven and exhausted Eu

"A sweeping assessment by a journalist with all the tools: broad historical knowledge, languages, and the luxury of travel" according to Graham H. Seibert. Murray frames the moral dilemma facing the west through a quote from the prophetic 197A sweeping assessment by a journalist with all the tools: broad historical knowledge, languages, and the luxury of travel Murray frames the moral dilemma facing the west through a quote from the prophetic 1973 book The Camp of the Saints. Author Jean Raspail saw ‘A million poor wretches, armed only with their weakness and their numbers, overwhelmed by misery, encumbered with starving brown and black children, ready to disembark on our soil, the vanguard of the multitudes pressing hard against every part of the tired and overfed West. I literally saw them, saw the major problem they presented, a problem absolutely insoluble by our present moral standards. To let them in would destroy us.

Important but depressing book C. Welch This is a very sad book to read for anyone that loves Europe, its history, culture, people, architecture, etc. How could any people voluntarily allow itself to be displaced in their own homelands? The author tells the story of post-war immigration into Europe through the decades and the total unwillingness of Europe's leaders to address its long term consequences. All debate over the huge numbers of immigrants and their offspring from all over the world has been shut-down by the mainstream political parties by implying anyone who opposes this transformation is racist, xenophobic, nativist, etc.The dis. A Basic 101 Course into Immigration Issues of Europe I would consider this work by My Murray to be a good introduction reading to the various issues of immigration and asylum into Europe. A fair amount of the book does center on the UK and what has occurred there, but he does a decent job to lay out the other countries as well. He does lay in the timelines, and enough statistics to prove various points. As he does lay out, a lot of this simply were incompetent political players who just couldn't accept the fact that they were creating a bigger mess in the end. It is up to date, and cites recent history around Europe. I would recommend it for people rese
