DESCRIPTION:
Such a work is Douglas Murray's tremendous and shattering book, The Strange Death of Europe. * 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. His pessimism about multiculturalism is so well constructed and written it is almost uplifting. * Literary Review * 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 politicised and neglected subject, that would be most welcome.

I literally saw them, saw the major problem they presented, . C. Welch said Important but depressing book. This is a very sad book to read for anyone that loves Europe, its history, culture, people, architecture, etc. How could any people voluntarily allow itself to be displaced in their own homelands? The author tells the story of post-war immigration into Europe through the decades and the total unwillingness of Europe's leaders to address its long term consequences. All debate over the huge numbers of immigrants and their offspring from all over the world has been shut-down by the . A Basic 101 Course into Immigration Issues of Europe I would consider this work by My Murray to be a good introduction reading to the various issues of immigration and asylum into Europe. A fair amount of the book does center on the UK and what has occurred there, but he does a decent job to lay out the other countries as well. He does lay in the timelines, and enough statistics to prove various points. As he does lay out, a lot of this simply were incompetent political players who just couldn't accept the fact that they were creat
