‘The most important book of the year’ Daily Mail
The
brilliant and provocative new book from one of the world’s foremost political
writers
‘The anti-Western revisionists have been out in force
in recent years. It is high time that we revise them in turn…’
In The War
on the West, international bestselling author Douglas Murray asks: if the
history of humankind is one of slavery, conquest, prejudice, genocide and
exploitation, why are only Western nations taking the blame for it?
It’s become
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 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 the ways in which many well-meaning people
have been lured into polarisation by lies, and shows how far the world’s most
crucial political debates have been hijacked across Europe and America.
Propelled by an incisive deconstruction of inconsistent arguments and
hypocritical activism, The War on the West is an essential and urgent polemic
that cements Murray’s status as one of the world’s foremost political writers.
