THE STRANGE DEATH OF EUROPE
DOUGLAS MURRAY
WITH DANIEL JEWESBURY
The Strange Death of Europe is a highly personal account of a
continent and culture caught in the act of suicide. Declining birth-rates,
mass immigration and cultivated self-distrust and self-hatred have
come together to make Europeans unable to argue for themselves and
incapable of resisting their own comprehensive change as a society.
Told from this first-hand perspective, and backed with impressive
research and evidence, the book addresses the disappointing failure
of multiculturalism, Angela Merkel’s U-turn on migration, the lack of
repatriation and the Western fixation on guilt. Murray travels to Berlin,
Paris, Scandinavia, Lampedusa and Greece to uncover the malaise at
the very heart of European culture and to hear the stories of those who
have arrived in Europe from far away.
Douglas Murray is Associate Editor of The Spectator and writes
frequently for a variety of other publications. In conversation with
Daniel Jewesbury, Murray will discuss the bigger issues which lie
behind our continent’s death-wish, answering the question of why
anyone, let alone an entire civilization, would do this to themselves?
