About this listen

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 alteration as a society and an eventual end.

This is not just an analysis of demographic and political realities; it is also an eyewitness account of a continent in self-destruct mode. It includes accounts based on travels across the entire continent, from the places where migrants land to the places they end up, from the people who pretend they want them to the places which cannot accept them.

Murray takes a step back at each stage and looks at the bigger and deeper issues which lie behind a continent's possible demise, from an atmosphere of mass terror attacks to the steady erosion of our freedoms. The audiobook 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 the European culture and to hear the stories of those who have arrived in Europe from far away.

This sharp and incisive audiobook ends up with two visions for a new Europe - one hopeful, one pessimistic - which paint a picture of Europe in crisis and offer a choice as to what, if anything, we can do next. But perhaps Spengler was right: 'civilizations, like humans, are born, briefly flourish, decay, and die'.

Critic reviews

"This is a vitally important book, the contents of which should be known to everyone who can influence the course of events, at this critical time in the history of Europe." (Sir Roger Scruton)

I am a migrant child, born in Germany to an English mother and a Moroccan father... I used to chant the refugees are welcome slogans and align myself very much on the left side of politics but found it increasingly hard to do considering that the left seems to live Islam so much even though it is an ideology that opposes pretty much everything the left used to stand for! I was suddenly alone in a political void, not able to support and align myself with anyone.
This book has enabled me to understand this conflict I am in better and I am grateful for it. Even though I very much "look Muslim", I am strictly against it and very much love being a European... I would recommend this book even if some parts were a bit of a struggle, not because I found the content hard to swallow from a belief standpoint, but simply because lists of facts can sometimes be a little long... ;)

A timely piece of writing

Seneca

I am always surprised when people from the left tell me of all the evil Europe has caused in the world and the guilt they feel for having been and empire is almost palpable, yet when you point out that Europe and Britain are not unique to these litanies of crimes, that all peoples have transgressed on other people, they seem perplexed and disbelieving that history does not support their racist little theory of superior culpability, because it is racist if you accuse someone of being a monster because of the colour of their skin even if you accuse yourself, but also it is a and insult to the humanity of others a distortion of history and ignorance of facts and reality. So it is with great pleasure that I recommend this book to all, it will unveil the self-haters and the new despots and tyrants they are setting about to destroy centuries of civilisation and learning to flagellate their ignorant fantasy of superior evil to satisfy a masochistic need that will impoverish the world of one of the most benevolent societies ever to have arisen in history ( even with all its imperfections ).

This is the warning that if ignored will lead us to one more cycle of dark ages that we may never return from, this is not a hysterical account but a numerical reality that it is about to tip over and destroy the world of our children.

Have you asked yourself why we are told we have over population in the world but we need more people to sustain our society?

Are you happy to give up your rights not to offend religious sensitivities?

Do you want to live in a society where sectarian religious violence is the norm?

If any of this questions have disturbed you please read this book and inform yourself and if after reading it you do not agree at least you will see what the others are worried about.

Sometimes even to live is an act of courage.

This book is the nemesis to any politically correct lovey or liberal. Succint, thought provoking and backed up with facts and surveys, this book taps into what you feel but find hard to put into words. This author should write the UK immigration policy.

Europe's migration problem superbly articulated

An excellent description of Europe and our situation created by our useless political leaders failing to take on the biggest issue facing our society. All MPs should listen this to avoid catastrophe in the years ahead.
