In The War on the West, international bestselling author Douglas Murray asks:
if the history of humankind is a history of slavery, conquest, prejudice,
genocide and exploitation, why are only Western nations taking the blame for
it? It's become, he explains, 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 of it 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 how many
well-meaning people have been lured into protests and polarisation by such
lies and hypocrisy. A blistering and important polemic, Murray's latest book
carefully and methodically shows how far political discourse has strayed in
Europe and America from its stated goals: justice and equality. Propelled by
an incisive deconstruction of inconsistent arguments and activism, towards a
clarion call for the defence of enlightenment values, The War on the West is
one of the most important books for a generation, cementing Murray as one of
the world's foremost political writers.

The definitive biography of Lord Alfred Douglas, the lover of Oscar Wilde and
'the other man' in the renowned scandal, by the acclaimed author of The
Strange Death of Europe and The Madness of Crowds. With a new Foreword and
revised Introduction.
Douglas Murray examines the twenty-first century's most divisive issues: sexuality, gender, technology and race. He reveals the astonishing new culture wars playing out in our workplaces, universities, schools and homes in the names of social justice, identity politics and intersectionality. We are living through a postmodern era in which the grand narratives of religion and political ideology have collapsed. In their place have emerged a crusading desire to right perceived wrongs and a weaponization of identity, both accelerated by the new forms of social and news media. Narrow sets of interests now dominate the agenda as society becomes more and more tribal--and, as Murray shows, the casualties are mounting.
The Strange Death of Europe is the internationally bestselling account of a continent and a culture caught in the act of suicide, now updated with new material taking in developments since it was first published to huge acclaim. These include rapid changes in the dynamics of global politics, world leadership and terror attacks across Europe. Douglas Murray travels across Europe to examine first-hand how mass immigration, cultivated self-distrust and delusion have contributed to a continent in the grips of its own demise. From the shores of Lampedusa to migrant camps in Greece, from Cologne to London, he looks critically at the factors that have come together to make Europeans unable to argue for themselves and incapable of resisting their alteration as a society. Murray's "tremendous and shattering" book (The Times) addresses the disappointing failures of multiculturalism, Angela Merkel's U-turn on migration, the lack of repatriation and the Western fixation on guilt, uncovering the malaise at the very heart of the European culture. His conclusion is bleak, but the predictions not irrevocable. As Murray argues, this may be our last chance to change the outcome, before it's too late.
Neo Conservatism: Why We Need It is a defense of the most controversial political philosophy of our era. Douglas Murray takes a fresh look at the movement that replaced Great-Society liberalism, helped Ronald Reagan bring down the Wall, and provided the intellectual rationale for the Bush administration's War on Terror. While others are blaming it for foreign policy failures and, more extremely, attacking it as a Jewish cabal, Murray argues that the West needs Neo-conservatism more than ever. In addition to explaining what Neo conservatism is and where it came from, he argues that this American-born response to the failed policies of the 1960s is the best approach to foreign affairs not only for the United States but also for Britain and the West as well.
