About this product

Product Information

Europe: An Obituary is a highly personal account of a continent and culture caught in the act of suicide. Declining birth-rates, mass immigration and cultivated self-distrust and self-hatred have come together to make Europeans unable to argue for themselves and incapable of resisting their own comprehensive alteration as a society and an eventual end. The book is not only an analysis of demographic and political realities, it is also an eye-witness account of a continent in self-destruct mode. It includes accounts based on travels across the entire continent, from the places where migrants land to the places they end up, from the people who pretend that they want them in to the places which cannot accept them. A discursive interlude after each chapter also takes a step back and looks at the bigger issues which lie behind a continent's death-wish, and answers the question of why anyone - let alone an entire civilisation - would do this to themselves.

  • The Strange Death of Europe - Essential Reading.

    The author of "The Strange Death of Europe: Immigration, Identity, Islam",  is a British journalist, and political commentator. He is the founder of the Centre for Social Cohesion and is currently the associate director of the Henry Jackson Society and associate editor of The Spectator. Douglas Murray is a seasoned journalist, who has spent a good deal of time studying, reporting and debating much of the ground covered by this book. Europe is changing and most likely not for the better. As Murray puts it in the first sentence of the first page "Europe is committing suicide."  The book describes in detail, how Europe is allowing itself and Western culture to be steadily deconstructed and probably with dire consequnces. Murray's approach to the subject is methodical, thorough and at times injected with his acerbic wit. The book covers many aspects of immigration going back as far as the Huguenots in 17th century. However it's main focus is immigration since WWII and more specifically the present day migration crisis. Murray has travelled much and has met migrants, escaping genuinely distressing situations, sensitively retelling their stories. In contrast he is quite critical of the way in which governments have mismanaged the migration crisis (and in some respects haven't managed it at all), allowing migrants to pass through borders with minimal or zero scrutiny. The net result being that the majority of people being allowed to land on Europe's shores, are not as many would believe refugees, but are economic migrants. Murray discusses the social impact, the effects on law and order and the way in which much of the negative impact is glossed over by the mainstream media and politicians. Murray demonstrates a great concern for the future of Europe (doesn't look good) due to the clash of cultures between the people's being imported to Europe and our tolerant, liberal Western culture. The West has hamstrung itself, weighed down by political correctness gone mad, it's loss of faith and self confidence in it's own culture. Almost masochistic in its nature. As a consequence the West is all to happy to blame itself and take ownership of the world's problems. Throughout the book, Murray supports his views and analysis with statistics and facts gathered during his research, many of which are genuinely unsettling if not shocking. He covers the excuses we made for ourselves and which were invented for public consumption by the establishment. Murray systematically debunks these in a highly skilled manner. The book has been hailed by some as the most important book of our time and I would have to agree. Murray's arguments are comprelling and difficult to refute. The book provides clarity and honesty in an area which is shrouded by the language of political corectness. This book really is essential reading.
