SUNDAY TIMES NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER ‘The most important book of the year’ Daily Mail
The brilliant and provocative new book from one of the world’s foremost political writers
‘The anti-Western revisionists have been out in force in recent years. It is high time that we revise them in turn…’
In The War on the West, international bestselling author Douglas Murray asks: if the history of humankind is one of slavery, conquest, prejudice, genocide and exploitation, why are only Western nations taking the blame for it?
It’s become perfectly acceptable to celebrate the contributions of non-Western cultures, but discussing their flaws and crimes is called hate speech. What’s more it has become acceptable to discuss the flaws and crimes of Western culture, but celebrating their contributions is also called hate speech. Some of this is a much-needed reckoning; however, some is part of a larger international attack on reason, democracy, science, progress and the citizens of the West by dishonest scholars, hatemongers, hostile nations and human-rights abusers hoping to distract from their ongoing villainy.
In The War on the West, Douglas Murray shows the ways in which many well-meaning people have been lured into polarisation by lies, and shows how far the world’s most crucial political debates have been hijacked across Europe and America. Propelled by an incisive deconstruction of inconsistent arguments and hypocritical activism, The War on the West is an essential and urgent polemic that cements Murray’s status as one of the world’s foremost political writers.

Good start and Good ending of the book. In-between some weak arguments and repetition.

Att det är en religion är uppenbart, det behöver inte Murray tala om. Det öppnar för att tänka vidare själv. Gör man det är det en bra "tankefälla".

Väldigt informativ om varför ideologier som inte gillar västvärlden är fel. Han argumenterar för att de bygger på ett självskadebeteende.

Full of historical and philosophical fallacies. Hope there will be soon be a book on the topic with less drama and more seriousness
