Publisher's summary

An Instant New York Times Bestseller!

China has concentration camps now. Why do Westerners claim our sins are unique?

It is now in vogue to celebrate non-Western cultures and disparage Western ones. Some of this is a much-needed reckoning, but much of it fatally undermines the very things that created the greatest, most humane civilization in the world.

In The War on the West, Douglas Murray shows how many well-meaning people have been fooled by hypocritical and inconsistent anti-West rhetoric. After all, if we must discard the ideas of Kant, Hume, and Mill for their opinions on race, shouldn’t we discard Marx, whose work is peppered with racial slurs and anti-Semitism? Embers of racism remain to be stamped out in America, but what about the raging racist inferno in the Middle East and Asia?

It’s not just dishonest scholars who benefit from this intellectual fraud but hostile nations and human rights abusers hoping to distract from their own ongoing villainy. Dictators who slaughter their own people are happy to jump on the “America is a racist country” bandwagon and mimic the language of antiracism and “pro-justice” movements as PR while making authoritarian conquests.

If the West is to survive, it must be defended. The War on the West is not only an incisive takedown of foolish anti-Western arguments but also a rigorous new apologetic for civilization itself.

Douglas Murray as brave and as bright as always

Having read The strange death of Europe
and The madness of the crowds (both wonderful) I was afraid the author of these book might be repeating himself in this one, but no- Mr Murray brings new information, new thoughts and a sound logic to fight today’s invisible but dangerous war. His arguments are sharp, well based and well thought out. We absolutely need voices like him. One must see the danger in order to fight it. I also enjoyed Mr Murray’s narration very much. It’s very involved and full of humor and life.

Beautifully written, sad but so true

Elegantly written and well read. Such an accurate representation of what is going on in the world that no one wants to talk about. I sincerely hope this book gains more popularity!

Great read!

What a thoughtful and interesting book. I highly recommend it. Murray summarizes In a book what has been happening to the west.

Another perspective.

Another perspective. I may not always agree with the author but this work is well presented with current and historical references to support his thoughts on the culture wars of today that are a mire for some and the hope of change for others. We are offered up in this book much to ponder. I will be doing that.

Truth Telling

Amazing piece of work. History will remember the book as fact based and unbiased. I saw Douglas Murray on Louder with Crowder and had to buy this. Just Amazing, thank you.

Hear The Integrity 🎧

As you probably do too, I appreciate when an author reads his own work✅

I love it when the author SOUNDS great🎯

The best “how did we get here” book

Feel like everything has become looney? Wondering how the hell did this happen? This is a beautiful overview of the steps taken and notable moments. Also obscure moments that even the most avid of news watchers or political junkie may have missed. My mind was blown several times and it was crazy to hear him talk about INSANE events that have completely fallen down the memory hole unless reminded.
Every word a symphony. Buy it. Make your mom listen to it. Make your dog listen to it. Made me immediately buy madness of crowds. Not mad about that decision either.

Chilling!

I did not comprehend the depth of hatred being spread "out there" till I listened to this book. A lack of humanity, not to mention common courtesy, is leading western society to dangerous levels of self-loathing, imagined guilt, and political correctness on one side, and false accusations, defamation, and malicious brainwashing on the other. Only a few years ago these vicious statements would never have been heard in public, not to mention never tolerated. If we don't stop this callousness now, humanity will suffer because this kind of thing spreads and poisons our families, our schools, our political processes, our world! We are human beings! Stop blaming people for things that happened before they were born. Learn from the past. When the fascists took over in countries all over the world, these are the kinds of tactics they used to take over so they could throw innocent people in prison, or directly kill them in the streets without due process of the law. You cannot cure racism with more racism. Two things keep us safe in society: the rule of law and the Golden Rule. Let us apply both!

Predictable

It’s what you’d expect from this author. No more lo less, for good or I’ll.

Brilliant

A pragmatic response to the irreconcilable attack on Western Culture. This book showcases the spectacle of lunacy which has befallen our era, and highlights many of the bad actors to whom the tragedy of George Floyd's death, was an opportunity to castigate and pillory the western-world, and all it's forebears. Douglas Murray responds in fine style and exposes the shameless hypocrisy through which marxist ideals, and CRT, have seemingly gained the upperhand.

Thank you for this book Mr. Murray.
