The War on the West

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.

Another eye opening analysis

Doug Murray has an unparalleled ability to observe cultural movements. His objectivism and articulation of complex cultural systems is unmatched. Truly one of the great thinkers of our day

Amazing

Absolutely amazing book! I have an extensive education from one of the best Universities in the U.S. (3 engineering degrees and an MBA) - I was forced to learn much of the work done by the “Social Scientists” Murray discusses in The War on the West. Mr. Murray’s book finally articulates and debunks much of the nonsense that has been spewed for the last 3-4 decades. Bravo Sir, Bravo!

A must read!

Especially if you consider yourself a “liberal” or progressive thinker. This book is well balanced with detailed supporting examples. I believe many Americans are simply unaware of the depths of misdirection coming out of our universities, political leaders and entertainers. Take a few hours and listen, you might just discover that you are on the wrong side of the debate.

Murray Plays the Hits

This book is primarily a litany of the all the absurdities of the illiberal left over the last decade. There’s not too much in the way of penetrating insight, but Murray’s excellent written style and the emotional range of his narration keep the piece entertaining throughout. Recommended for anyone right of John McWhorter.

Required Reading

This should be required reading in high schools and colleges, along with the reinstitution of the study of Western Civ.
I also enjoyed that Mr Murray read the book himself.

A must read!

Highly educational and informative. Everyone in the world should read this book regardless of race, religion and nationality.

Good book worth the credit

Author gets into interesting details and as a good voice to tell the story. Learn much from this book….

Possibly one of the most important works out today

This piece is required reading for anyone finding themselves scratching their heads at the themes in today’s discourse. Douglas Murray is not only bitingly funny and insightful, but he is courageously wading into the dangerous waters of social justice, race, and the psychopathic need for self-destruction that is tearing the West asunder.

Excellent

As usual, Douglas Murray hits a home run. I hope those who are interested in the destruction of western civilization will read this book. They should contemplate what their lives would be like living in what is left. I’m sure the enlightened views of the PRC and the Russian Federation will allow them to deconstruct those societies as well.

another masterpiece by Murray

great information. wonderful answers to the demanding questions being thrown about by the detractors of the west.
well researched and worth the read, unlike so many books being pushed by the leftists at this time.
