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

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

. . . fiery, lucid, and essential polemic.

Sohrab Ahmari, Commentary

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

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.
