“Europe is committing suicide.” A powerful introduction and summary of the book’s premise on the first page. “Or at least its leaders have decided to commit suicide. Whether the European people choose to go along with this is, naturally, another matter.”
In this book, Douglas Murray tackles, as clarified by the sub title, immigration, European identity and Islam, all controversial subjects that are hotly debated on television and in other forms of media, as well as being the focus of an infinite number of op-eds and articles. But such topics are anything but exhausted, and are perhaps more relevant today than ever.
Murray, an experienced columnist and debater, clearly and eloquently posits his argument that Europe is “sick”, due to the inward “mass movement of peoples” and its “existential civilizational tiredness.” Its “elite political class” has set in motion a process that is nearly impossible to reverse, and has chastised any attempt to address their failings, and the future of their disastrous policies.
What follows is an overall measured, conservative response to the problems mentioned, offering solutions at times, but, by the end, no reassurance to those who share the same concerns, or who may have found themselves convinced by the book’s premise. Perhaps this should serve to reinforce the sense of urgency in the face of cultural decay and social turmoil, or to induce a sort of cynicism about Europe’s future. Ultimately, this would be determined by the reader’s own stance on the matter.
The Strange Death of Europe: Immigration, Identity and Islam is available to buy now.
