The End
of Europe: Dictators, Demagogues, and the Coming Dark Age, 11 April 2017
English
edition by James Kirchick (Author), Eric
Martin (Reader)
Once the
world's bastion of liberal, democratic values, Europe is now having to confront
demons it thought it had laid to rest. The old pathologies of anti-Semitism,
populist nationalism, and territorial aggression are threatening to tear the
European postwar consensus apart. In riveting dispatches from this unfolding
tragedy, James Kirchick shows us the shallow disingenuousness of the leaders
who pushed for "Brexit;" examines how a vast migrant wave is
exacerbating tensions between Europeans and their Muslim minorities; explores
the rising anti-Semitism that causes Jewish schools and synagogues in France
and Germany to resemble armed bunkers; and describes how Russian imperial
ambitions are destabilizing nations from Estonia to Ukraine. With President Trump
now threatening to abandon America's traditional role as upholder of the
liberal world order and guarantor of the contient's security, Europe may be
alone in dealing with these unprecedented challenges. Based on extensive
firsthand reporting, this book is a provocative, disturbing look at a continent
in unexpected crisis.
