The War on the West

loved the book from start to end and at no point did I feel like I was listening just to get back into a juicy part of the book. the story flows so smoothly that its hard to put down.

There are a lot of things to disagree with in this book; however, there is also a lot to think about. Murray is giving us fair warning about what the future holds should we continue exactly as we are now.This is someone who loves the west and wishes to conserve and share the best parts of it, Murray is no apologist however and he will be the first to accept all the times in which the West has failed to live up to its own ideals. It was a really great book to listen to.On a funny note: Listening to Murray attempting to pronounce the names of the Aztec gods will make every Mexican grin. He does a good job but it doesn't make it any less funny for those who know how the names should be pronounced. (This is not a critique! I fail to pronounce worcestershire at least once a month, which I bet Brits find amusing).

In a time when all seem marred by politics of hate and rage, Murray’s voice almost delicately touches on the open wounds like sprinkles of joy and magic. You don’t have to belong to any certain ideological group to hear this song, just listen and let it move you. The grey, dull and sometimes malicious forces it stands up brilliantly and vivaciously against are but a remnant of a shadow we all contend with in our hearts. Thank you Douglas Murray!

Anyone who believes in the United States and the successes of Western Civilization should read this book.It recognizes the west’s contribution to the world while recognizing and addressing areas that are under constant attack by deconstructionist.Well researched, not based on simple loved experience this accounts for the war using data and the scientific method.

I couldn't stop listening. I love that Murray narrated his own book. WARNING: Not all authors should do this. I love the way he approached the topic. He's not angry or bitter, just as a matter of factly. I'm listening to it again, I just want to make sure I have properly digested every morsel.

Everyone in America, and the West for that matter, should read this book. Murray strikes down the rhetoric of those who demonize the West and offers a reasonable and rational counter argument that would have been common sense only a few decades ago. This is a good reminder that the West is not evil, but rather has created more good than any other culture around the world. This book is crucial.

Like all of his previous books this is yet another masterpiece by Douglas Murray.Brilliant beyond words with narration by the author himself.A must read.

yet another fantastically researched and written book by Douglas Murray. a blend of social commentary and historical analysis that make for a compelling defense of Western history and values.

With all due respect to Douglas, this book comes across as a bitter, hectoring diatribe. Not as informative or funny as "The Madness of Crowds." I recommend listening at 1.5x speed. Maybe it's just an American bias, but you don't need to marinate over your words and pauses to illustrate your point. Furthermore, I found myself annoyed, often asking, "What exactly is your point Douglas?" Disappointing.

Well written and has a powerful message about many of the issues being faced in the United States and the world. Should be required reading at every university.
