Unabridged Audiobook
great insight into the topic
Douglas does it again. The war on the west is a vital read. I also want Douglas to read all my audio books.
Loved it! Created some new thinking space in my understanding of the west.
The War on the Westby Douglas Murray In this book the author takes us through 200 years of anti-western philosophy, and the practical results. Beginning with the counter enlightenment, many philosophers pointed out that Europeans had failed to live up to their own moral standards. In itself, there is nothing wrong with this. But where things began to go off the rails, is with a glorification of any culture other than Western. The book shows how this evolved from merely glorifying non-western cultures, to placing them on pedestals. Making them off limits to criticism or critique. It then shows how Western symbols and heros have been systematically, vilified and demonized, often for very minor failings. Yet these same standards are never applied to non-western cultural symbols and heroes. After reading this book, I am left with a single question. What happens to culture that begins to use its own moral standards, to destroy everything about the society that created those very standards?
Brilliant, should be compulsory for every western citizen.
A Neo red pill read. Well researched and documented. Depressing and sad read (listen) in a way. A standard reference to understand and counter the War on the West.
Great book with an excellent perspective on not just what is happening, but how it's been happening in plain sight.
I really like and appreciate Douglas Murray and his work. This book was good, however, I did not find it as good as “The Strange Death of Europe”. That could just be me being sort of sick of hearing the same things over and over about what’s going wrong in the West though. I wish there was a bigger movement of change occurring in the positive direction. I’ve experienced the shock, panic, disbelief, feelings of hopelessness when it comes to not being able to push back against the people who seem to hold so much financial power over the middle and lower classes of America… I think I’ve grown- (sadly) bored by it. Anyway, I do think this book is much worth listening to by someone who is just awakening to the “War on the West” because it will definitely interest you and you will learn a lot and possibly see it from the perspective of TRUTH based in facts. Of course I loved listening to the actual author narrate this. I don’t like when public figures don’t narrate their own books. It’s worth a listen! Or a read!
