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.

"Diversity is our Strenght" is a magic spell.

Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2021

Verified Purchase

Great book and obviously relevant for the times. Reading it was like a roller coaster ride with highs and lows -- happy and angry moments. I finished it a couple of years ago and so details in my memory are gone. I just looked through the table of contents and it inspired the following.

These days I am seeing statutes get tore down all over the Western world, pushes to change history, literal struggle session for White people. I am convinced that different groups of people can not live together when they can not tolerate the different histories and myths that they need to survive and thrive. I recognize that separated people will develop their own versions of common events, have different facts, myths and point of views, etc. Tribalization and balkanization seems to be a more common theme in the world than unification despite the EU, NATO, USA, etc. There are more countries in the world now than ever before and the number keeps increasing. Trying to unify great diversity requires an iron fist and we are seeing this taking place in USA -- the Conservatives want their own history and myths and do not want what is being forced on them by the state and they no longer trust the state. The result is a riot and protest in Capitol Hill on 1/6 and obvious political persecution with unjust name calling.

I bought Murray's subsequent book, Madness of Crowds, and perhaps am finding it broader in ideas and more nuanced than The Strange Death of Europe. I am only a third the way through Madness of Crowds. I found The Strange Death of Europe more difficult to put down but perhaps that is only a matter of habit and not that Madness is less engaging.

I look forward to his next book in the series. The topics are connected -- mass migration made people think about identity, belonging and even indigenous land rights which includes Europeans. Perhaps his next book will be on White Identity Politics. It seems appropriate since the whole world is closing in on the West.

Due to Big Tech's sensitivity to mean words and hate speech I doubt that this review will be approved of. I will push submit and wait for the thought police to knock on my door!

On the brink of losing Europe

Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is a timely book on the effects of uncontrolled, and unsupervised immigration upon the societies of Western Europe. Douglas Murray offers a critical look at the policy choices made by European governments after World War 2 to import workers from many of their former colonies in order to alleve perceived labor shortages. Without any real thought or planning as to the effect such an immigration policy would have on their cultures and societies. Western Europe has proven to be painfully inept at integrating immigrant arrivees into their cultural norms and values and as a result there are parallel societies in most countries with an uneasy peace between them

Furthermore when people in various countries began to question whether uncontrolled immigration from the third world was an unalloyed good, the ruling elites attempted to quash any such questioning as racist and xenophobic. In polite society one wasn't allowed to talk about the creeping epidemic of female genital mutilation, honor killings and political Islam. Academics who studied these issues had their careers destroyed, sporadic political upstarts who organized around a more sane immigration policy were demonized by all sectors of the political class from center right to far left. Even immigrants themselves like Ayan Hirsi Ali, who pointed out cultural and societal problems from the rising population growth of Muslims in Europe, was painted as a racist hater, forced to live under police protection due to threats from Islamic radicals who are allowed to live (often on the dole) in places like Holland and England.

Murray delves into the phenomenon of white western guilt which especially afflicts such nations as the US , Australia and England. He points out how other countries have their histories and cultures judged by the best case examples, while we in the west judge ourselves by our worst moments (inquisition, Nazis in Germany, etc)

“In America, as in Australia , such a constant drumbeat of guilt changes a people's natural feelings about their own past. It transforms feelings of patriotism into shame or at the very least into deeply mixed emotions”

Not all countries do this. In Turkey which ushered in the first genocide of the 20th century, there is no collective guilt about the Armenian massacre. In fact Article 301 of the Turkish constitution makes it a crime to insult the Turkish nation. Thus any critique of their past is forbidden .

Why is it only western nations that should feel guilty? Should Mongolians in the 21st century be subjected to a constant parade of criticism for the massacres at Aleppo and Baghdad the Genghis Khan perpetuated?

Murray takes a close look at the trumped up Syrian refugee crisis of 2015 which involved very few war refugees and even fewer Syrians. It did involve millions of uneducated, probably unemployable young men with retrograde views on everything from church/state separation to women's equality. Pointing out that the Gulf States have taken in exactly zero refugees , Murray shows how this flood was encouraged by Western leaders notably Germany's Merkela. While it would have been far better and cheaper to house the true war refugees in the middle east, so they could return when Syria stabilizes, the political elite lacked the will to do this. Even with the societal and establishment pressure to never discuss the downside of this refugee flood, public opinion has increasingly turned againsted the unfettered immigration which had been encouraged. Still political leaders refuse to do much to police their borders or return unauthorized migrants to their homelands.

Murray looks at an issue I've thought about , the demorilization of Western society, which no longer acts as if the values we are built upon are worth preserving. This explains why societies with still only 10% Muslims are buckling under to the creeping Sharia that is coming their way. Murray offers the suggestion that a religious revival in Europe would help combat this trend but doesn't hold out much hope for one. He basically predicts a continued lack of will to confront the issue and the eventual transfomation of Europe into a place we won't recognize.

This was a very good book, very readable. Everyone should read and think about it.

If any of the news about violence, coming from Europe, made you curious this book will give you the whole background, from the author’s angle though. For me, I became curious after reading about car-burning in Stockholm a few months ago. I remember thinking that was quite un-European thing to happen in Stockholm. Glad to have found this book & mainly the author.

Reviewed in Italy on April 2, 2022

Verified Purchase

il tema dell'immigrazione incontrollata, anzi almeno in parte promossa da parte politica, e del suo impatto sui paesi europei, è trattato con grande rigore documentale. La lettura soffre un poco di questo, e risultano più piacevoli i capitoli prevalentemente dedicati alle alle considerazioni interpretative, sempre profonde ed estremamente equilibrate, rispetto a quelli dedicati alla storia e alle esemplificazioni. Da leggere.

Suicídio do ocidente.

Reviewed in Brazil on September 4, 2017

Esse livro mostra como as ultimas duas gerações de europeus estão colocando em risco tudo o que foi conseguido pelos habitantes dos ultimos 3000 anos do continente. A civilização ocidental, com todas as suas conquistas e avanços, simplesmente parece ter se rendido aos invasores de outras culturas, sem que a maioria da população concorde com isso. A abertura irrestrita para a imigração de milhões de individuos de culturas completamente incompativeis com a ocidental é feita de maneira a tornar a situação irreversível e perigosa em muito pouco tempo. Os politicos abriram as fronteiras (contra a vontade do povo europeu), e a demografia está fazendo o resto. Os números e dados objetivos saõ estarrecedores. Não é algo que te agradará, mas é necessária a leitura para abrir os olhos para o futuro da humanidade,

As a lover of European culture i bought the book even though I already had read and seen much on the issue of immigration from the islamic countries. The effects are devastating and Europe will never be the same. sad but true. We must be informed so this does not further spread in America! It is heartwrenching to see the rivers of refugees trying to save their lives and find a corner in our planet where to live in peace, yet at what cost to each nation?
