Description: The War on the West by Douglas Murray SUNDAY TIMES NUMBER ONE BESTSELLERThe most important book of the year Daily MailThe brilliant and provocative new book from one of the worlds foremost political writers FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description SUNDAY TIMES NUMBER ONE BESTSELLERThe most important book of the year Daily MailThe brilliant and provocative new book from one of the worlds 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? Its become perfectly acceptable to celebrate the contributions of non-Western cultures, but discussing their flaws and crimes is called hate speech. Whats 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 worlds 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 Murrays status as one of the worlds foremost political writers.
