"Lively . . . Murray''s book is informed by actual reporting across the Continent, and a quality of writing that manages to be spritely and elegiac at the same time. Murray''s is also a truly liberal intellect, in that he is free from the power that taboo exerts over the European problem, but he doesn''t betray the slightest hint of atavism or meanspiritedness." - Michael Brendan Dougherty, The National Review

" This is a brilliant, important and profoundly depressing book. That it is written with Douglas Murray''s usual literary elegance and waspish humor does not make it any less depressing. That Murray will be vilified for it by the liberals who have created the appalling mess he describes does not make it any less brilliant and important ( . . . ) Read it." - Rod Liddle, Sunday Times

"His overall thesis, that a guilt-driven and exhausted Europe is playing fast and loose with its precious modern values by embracing migration on such a scale, is hard to refute." - Juliet Samuel, Telegraph

"A cogent summary of how, over three decades or more, elites across western Europe turned a blind eye to the failures of integration and the rise of Islamism . . . Persuasive. - The Times

"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

"Douglas Murray glitters in the gloom. His pessimism about multiculturalism is so well constructed and written it is almost uplifting. Liberals will want to rebut him. I should warn them that they will need to argue harder than they have ever argued before." - Nick Cohen

"Douglas Murray''s introduction to this already destructive subject of Islamist hegemony is a distinguished attempt to clarify the origins of a storm. I found myself continually wishing that he wasn''t making himself quite so clear." - Clive James

"Douglas Murray writes so well that when he is wrong he is dangerous." - Matthew Parris, Spectator

"Whether one agrees with him or not Murray has made a valuable contribution to the global battle of ideas." - Amir Taheri, Asharq al-Awsat

"A compelling, insightful and persuasively argued narrative . . . a deeply humane book that touches on individual tragedy . . . It may even prove to be the start of a conversation, and for such a dangerously politicized and neglected subject, that would be most welcome. The combination of fascinating subject matter and superb writing make The Strange Death of Europe a title that stays in the mind throughout the reading process and beyond." - Entertainment Focus

"A powerful new book." - John O''Sullivan, The National Review

"Powerful and engaging . . . Murray is at his strongest when lampooning the neurotic guilt of Western liberal elites . . . Disagree passionately if you will, but you won''t regret reading it." - Literary Review

"Timely . . . Murray takes a stance that few dare to take . . . With violence erupting in Europe and America''s new anti-immigration policies, this audacious work will find its readers." - Kirkus Reviews

"[E]rudite, dispiriting, and indispensable . . . . More than any other book with which I am familiar, The Strange Death of Europe provides a rich, comprehensive, and haunting portrait of a continent in extremis and an astute, thoroughly credible diagnosis of the social, psychological, and cultural afflictions that have led it to this hour of crisis." - FrontPage Magazine

"Every so often, something is published which slices through the fog of confusion, obfuscation and the sheer dishonesty of public debate to illuminate one key fact about the world. Such a work is Douglas Murray''s tremendous and shattering book, The Strange Death of Europe ." - Melanie Phillips, The Times

" The Strange Death of Europe may be one of the most important philosophical books of our time . . . This is nothing less than a dynamite book. It is likely that liberals in Europe and North America will avoid this book, but they shouldn''t. Murray''s questions are too important to ignore anymore." - Douglas Murray, New York Journal of Books

"[ The Strange Death of Europe ] does hit on some unfortunate truths." - The Economist
