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.
The New York Times bestselling author of The War on the West explains how no less than the future of the Western World is at stake in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Douglas Murray, #1 international bestselling author and renowned cultural commentator, confronts arguably the most pressing question of our time: Why are Western supporters of Palestine unwittingly aligning with an evil empire?
The campus left frames the violent hostilities as white colonialists committing genocide. Yet only a third of Israelis are Ashkenazi Jews of European ancestry. Murray argues that the conflict is not a simple tale of oppressor versus oppressed, but a clash between a thriving multi-racial democracy and a death cult bent on its destruction.
Drawing from intensive on-the-ground reporting in Israel, Gaza, and Lebanon, Murray presents a compelling case that places the latest violence in its proper historical context. He takes readers on a harrowing journey through the aftermath of the October 7 massacre, piecing together the exclusive accounts from victims, survivors, and even the terrorists responsible for the atrocities.
On Democracies and Death Cults illustrates how Israel's commitment to fundamental Western values--capitalism, individual rights, democracy, and reason--has made it a beacon of progress in a region dominated by authoritarianism and extremism. Murray contrasts Israel's principles with the ideology of Hamas, which openly proclaims its love of death over life. If left unchecked, Murray argues, this misplaced Western sympathy could embolden forces that seek to undermine democratic values and perpetuate a culture of violence.
Deeply reasoned, clear-eyed, and grounded in fact, On Democracies and Death Cults is a gripping and essential read for all who seek to understand the complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and its implications for the future of democracy both here and abroad--and for the world itself.

Las masas se han vuelto locas. Basta con seguir las redes sociales o los medios de comunicación para ser testigos de la histeria colectiva en la que se ha convertido el debate político. Cada día alguien nuevo clama que algo le ha ofendido: un cartel que cosifica, una conferencia que debe ser censurada, una palabra que degrada. Vivimos en la tiranía de la corrección política, en un mundo sin género, ni razas ni sexo y en el que proliferan las personas que se confiesan víctimas de algo (el heteropatriarcado, la bifobia o el racismo). Ser víctima es ya una aspiración, una etiqueta que nos eleva moralmente y que nos ahorra tener que argumentar nada.
Pero como nos recuerda Douglas Murray en este polémico libro que ha sido menospreciado por la izquierda biempensante y que se ha convertido en un fenómeno de ventas sin precedente en el Reino Unido: La víctima no siempre tiene razón, no siempre tiene que caernos bien, no siempre merece elogio y, de hecho, no siempre es víctima .
Con un estilo provocador y una estructura argumentativa sin fisuras, el autor trata de introducir algo de sentido común en el debate público, al tiempo que aboga con vehemencia por valores como la libertad de expresión y la serenidad actuales.

A Times and Sunday Times Book of the Year
Douglas Murray fights the good fight for freedom of speech ... A truthful look at today's most divisive issues - Jordan B. Peterson
[Murray's] latest book is beyond brilliant and should be read, must be read, by everyone - Richard Dawkins
Are we living through the great derangement of our times?
In The Madness of Crowds Douglas Murray investigates the dangers of 'woke' culture and the rise of identity politics. In lively, razor-sharp prose he examines the most controversial issues of our moment: sexuality, gender, technology and race, with interludes on the Marxist foundations of 'wokeness', the impact of tech and how, in an increasingly online culture, we must relearn the ability to forgive.
One of the few writers who dares to counter the prevailing view and question the dramatic changes in our society - from gender reassignment for children to the impact of transgender rights on women - Murray's penetrating book, now published with a new afterword taking account of the book's reception and responding to the worldwide Black Lives Matter protests, clears a path of sanity through the fog of our modern predicament.
