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 deca. 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.
That it is written with Douglas Murray's usual literary elegance and waspish humour does not make it any less depressing. His pessimism about multiculturalism is so well constructed and written it is almost uplifting. 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.
