"Mark Steyn is a human sandblaster. This book provides a powerful, abrasive, high-velocity assault on encrusted layers of sugarcoating and whitewash over the threat of Islamic imperialism. Do we in the West have the will to prevail?" - MICHELLE MALKIN, New York Times bestselling author of Unhinged

"Mark Steyn is the funniest writer now living. But don't be distracted by the brilliance of his jokes. They are the neon lights advertising a profound and sad insight: America is almost alone in resisting both the suicide of the West and the suicide bombing of radical Islamism." - JOHN O'SULLIVAN, editor at large, National Review

IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT.....

Someday soon, you might wake up to the call to prayer from a muezzin. Europeans already are. And liberals will still tell you that "diversity is our strength"--while Talibanic enforcers cruise Greenwich Village burning books and barber shops, the Supreme Court decides sharia law doesn't violate the "separation of church and state," and the Hollywood Left decides to give up on gay rights in favor of the much safer charms of polygamy.

If you think this can't happen, you haven't been paying attention, as the hilarious, provocative, and brilliant Mark Steyn--the most popular conservative columnist in the English-speaking world--shows to devastating effect. The future, as Steyn shows, belongs to the fecund and the confident. And the Islamists are both, while the West is looking ever more like the ruins of a civilization.

But America can survive, prosper, and defend its freedom only if it continues to believe in itself, in the sturdier virtues of self-reliance (not government), in the centrality of family, and in the conviction that our country really is the world's last best hope. Mark Steyn's America Alone is laugh-out-loud funny--but it will also change the way you look at the world.

From the Inside Flap

It's the end of the world as we know it...

Someday soon, you might wake up to the call to prayer from a muezzin. Europeans already are. And liberals will still tell you that "diversity is our strength"--while Talibanic enforcers cruise Greenwich Village burning books and barber shops, the Supreme Court decides sharia law doesn't violate the "separation of church and state," and the Hollywood Left decides to give up on gay rights in favor of the much safer charms of polygamy. If you think this can't happen, you haven't been paying attention, as the hilarious, provocative, and brilliant Mark Steyn--the most popular conservative columnist in the English-speaking world--shows to devastating effect.

But America can survive, prosper, and defend its freedom only if it continues to believe in itself, in the sturdier virtues of self-reliance (not government), in the centrality of family, and in the conviction that our country really is the world's last best hope. Mark Steyn's America Alone is laugh-out-loud funny--but it will also change the way you look at the world.

This book will make you uncomfortable.

Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2019

As I read on, I kept wanting to stop, but it was like a car accident where you can’t look away. I’m an old guy, and I’m really saddened by the direction the western world is taking. The relentless pursuit of multiculturalism, intersectionality and inclusion with zero evidence that there is any benefit to those isms is killing us. The west seems far too willing to give up the dependence and self reliance that defined us and take on the pajama boy, latte drinker, fed by the government approach. When you look around at all the things we have and all the the freedom we have now you need to ask how much we will retain. Europe is the canary in the coal mine. Don’t follow their path.

Engaging, Witty & Informative

I should have read this when it first came out. I enjoy Mark's razor sharp wit, which he effortlessly mixes with exhaustive research. I think he perfectly captures the existential challenges facing the American way of life and the Western world. This book should be mandatory reading for liberals, but I'm afraid the copious amounts of humor would just confuse them. Besides, the book does not come with a "trigger warning" for today's snowflakes.

A serious book by a comedic guy who is unequaled in interviews even by Ann Coulter the greatest in written form

Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2017

Verified Purchase

Mark Steyn is an intellectual's intellectual who brings into his interviews a flare for the comedic that is unequaled even by Ann Coulter the greatest at this in the written form. This book hit the issue correctly although it was a bit boring to read over and over and over again about populations going south and that birth rates and death rates prove that Caucasians are soon to be no more in a world of blended races and that this country is changing rapidly and that the real world status of civilizations and radical changes are exploding behind the scenes and the facts cannot be ignored. Steyn should get a daily show - on FOX Business or something or like Greg Gutfelt as he would be as entertaining or better for sure. Getting tired of Greg's gang and Steyn would being new blood to the time slot with a different panel of guest. Greg and his are becoming less and less entertaining each week. Get Steyn on there! Just talking about issue after issue and it would be an instant hit and fun at that! Thank You Mark for being a "call it like it is" type guy. America loves you!

Once again Steyn nails it!

Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2017

Verified Purchase

Steyn nails it again in his summation of where America stands today as well as where it may be headed to in the very near future.
If you're at all familiar with his humorous, sarcasm and tongue cheek speaking style in a British accent....you'll be able to hear that voice in every line he writes. Steyn is a very astute observer of our political condition, society and his welcome commentary on these subjects, with his own personal stamp, will not disappoint the reader. Plus.. he's easier to take than Coulter or Malkin! /grin

Before We Go

Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2017

Verified Purchase

Finally after many years, events brought me to read and consider the outlier positions of 'America Alone', as discussed in the usual tongue-in-check of social provocateur, Mark Steyn. Our political class has not progressed in its understanding of Jihad one iota in the last 12 years. To my chagrin, this book seems to be only dated when referring to our gadgets.

The themes are bang on, as relevant today as ever before. It's also the stuff we do not want to hear. We want to believe that all of us are wrapped in the same silken covers. We will protect each other from the cold, and the wind and freezing rain. But with our Muslim brothers, that's not how they see it. We are not going to be co-survivors on a futuristic Noah's Ark.

Steyn does provide a roadmap on how to reform Islam from the inside. Most points are realistic, but not a single reform has occurred anywhere in the Islamic World.

The probabilities of reform did look good during the period of the 'Arab Spring', but Syria, ISIS & the weakness of the leaders of the USA and Europe towards the daily terror threats, have turned parts of the West into Police States. Rather than hearing stark responses from EU leaders on the nature of the problem, a million refugees have entered it's porous borders, with the EU providing succor to the next generation of jihadists from within their ranks.

We in the West seek to understand the meaning of life in an enlightened way, valuing all cultures as relevant to the human experience. Perhaps the continual dripping of innocents' blood, intrusions into our civilized, sane World, by callous and crippled savages, will lead us to reconsider our premises. If our argument on understanding the role of jihad can't stand the test of reason, then we are following the wrong premise.

An enjoyable read for the left and the right

Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2016

Verified Purchase

A witty and fact-based review of the demographic shift in favor is Muslim people in Europe and elsewhere. No matter where you line up, this is an interesting book to read. Some of the points are irrefutable and others are well argued, with a twist of humor.

Ardent leftists will, no doubt, give their full effort to dismantling the premise without actually attacking the argument, but I encourage anyone who cares about politics, religion, or international affairs to read this well-done book. Even if you spend the entire time trying to find holes in the argument, its still an enjoyable read.

Steyn's Wake-up Call Rocks The Boat

Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2017

The most readable, as well as hilarious, of the doomsday books published in the last decade. Steyn's tome is as foreboding as it is funny, but this is no joke. Western civilization is rapidly being eroded and Armageddon will soon be upon us. God save the human race from itself.

Overall an excellent read

Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2020

Much of the problems relating to demographics I am aware of and it would have been helpful if he exposed more deeply the involvement of the liberal welfare state in helping to create this problem.
Ironically social security, medicare etc.. which makes it easier for retired people to survive without the help of grown children is self defeating since its a Ponzi scheme by nature with a predictable outcome that reduces the number of child births or future payees into these programs. Funny how it always seems to be the government that creates the chaos in our lives.

Good book and funny in places

Good book and funny in places. It's a little outdated though but it has proven to be very prophetic. I have heard the second one is much better but I had to read this first obviously. If you are British then a lot of what he says may be a little confusing as it is written more for an American and Canadian audience though.

Mark Steyn has a very entertaining style of writing & you wont get tired of turning the pages. But his message is a serious one & well argued, his statistics on population changes etc are irrefutable,clearly the western world is in a suicidal decline. In Europe (certainly in Britain) the politicians are busy making any criticism of islam a 'hate crime' & therefore closing down free speech ..Already in some British cities 'sharia' patrols have attacked people drinking alcohol & dressing 'improperly'.Don't let America go the same way!
