Overview
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER Updated with a new afterword 'Douglas Murray fights the good fight for freedom of speech ... A truthful look at today's most divisive issues' - Jordan B. Peterson ' An excellent take on the lunacy affecting much of the world today. Douglas is one of the bright lights that could lead us out of the darkness .' - Joe Rogan Are we living through the great derangement of our times? In The Madness of Crowds Douglas Murray investigates the dangers of 'woke' culture and the rise of identity politics. In lively, razor-sharp prose he examines the most controversial issues of our moment: sexuality, gender, technology and race, with interludes on the Marxist foundations of 'wokeness', the impact of tech and how, in an increasingly online culture, we must relearn the ability to forgive. One of the few writers who dares to counter the prevailing view and question the dramatic changes in our society - from gender reassignment for children to the impact of transgender rights on women - Murray's penetrating book, now published with a new afterword taking account of the book's reception and responding to the worldwide Black Lives Matter protests, clears a path of sanity through the fog of our modern predicament.
Douglas Murray
Douglas Murray is a British author and political commentator known for his controversial views and critique of immigration policies, Islam, and identity politics. Some of his popular titles include The Strange Death of Europe and The Madness of Crowds, which delve into topics such as cultural cohesion and social justice in modern society. His works have sparked significant debate and conversation both in academic circles and among the general public.
Murray has also received acclaim and criticism for his bold perspectives and articulate expression. His writing style is engaging and thought-provoking, making him a noteworthy figure in contemporary political and social discourse. Despite the polarizing nature of his subjects, Murray continues to contribute regularly to a variety of publications and serves as an associate editor at The Spectator.
Born in England, Murray's background and personal experiences have significantly influenced his work. Little is publicly shared about his private life, focusing the attention primarily on his professional contributions. His interests include history and philosophy, which often reflect in the depth and breadth of his work.

"[Murray''s] latest book is beyond brilliant and should be read, must be read, by everyone. He mercilessly exposes the hypocrisy and embarrassingly blatant contradictions that run rife through the current ''woke'' vogue." --Richard Dawkins
"Whether one agrees with him or not, Douglas Murray is one of the most important public intellectuals today." --Bernard-Henri Lévy

At a moment of collective madness, there is nothing more refreshing - or, indeed, provocative - than sanity." --Sam Harris, author of five New York Times bestsellers and host of the Making Sense podcast.
