About this listen

The Strange Death of Europe is a highly personal account of a continent and culture caught in the act of suicide. Declining birth rates, mass immigration, and cultivated self-distrust and self-hatred have come together to make Europeans unable to argue for themselves and incapable of resisting their own comprehensive alteration as a society and an eventual end.

This is not just an analysis of demographic and political realities; it is also an eyewitness account of a continent in self-destruct mode. It includes accounts based on travels across the entire continent, from the places where migrants land to the places they end up, from the people who pretend they want them to the places which cannot accept them.

Murray takes a step back at each stage and looks at the bigger and deeper issues which lie behind a continent's possible demise, from an atmosphere of mass terror attacks to the steady erosion of our freedoms. The audiobook addresses the disappointing failure of multiculturalism, Angela Merkel's U-turn on migration, the lack of repatriation, and the Western fixation on guilt. Murray travels to Berlin, Paris, Scandinavia, Lampedusa, and Greece to uncover the malaise at the very heart of the European culture and to hear the stories of those who have arrived in Europe from far away.

This sharp and incisive audiobook ends up with two visions for a new Europe - one hopeful, one pessimistic - which paint a picture of Europe in crisis and offer a choice as to what, if anything, we can do next. But perhaps Spengler was right: 'civilizations, like humans, are born, briefly flourish, decay, and die'.

Critic Reviews

"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." (Sir Roger Scruton)
All stars

All Europeans must read this book (including those living in diaspora). Read this book, internalise it, and act. Fight for your homelands future, fight for your culture. If not you then who will, if not now then when. Much love

Warning: This book is a bitter pill, a harsh truth. For some it is a Red Pill (eye opening truth) and for some it might be a Black Pill (a truth so terrible one might reject it). If you are finding yourself feeling depressed and angry at the state of Europe, then put the book down for a few days before returning. I had to do the same as I was totally unprepared for the information in this book, as an Australian I had no idea this was happening

This is a look at truths avoided by politicians and advocates who believe their vision is the right one. Passion for virtue becomes a tyranny when it refuses to hear an alternate opinion, or confront a complexity with courage and humility.
Here everybody is at fault - for different reasons - and everybody is in denial. The ‘death of Europe’, strange or otherwise, is not a metaphor.
I finished listening in a sober mood. There is sadness too. Does this have to be the way it will go? I can’t say it is good or bad. Always what is good for some will be bad for others. But I may have to grieve a loss of a place that is foundational to my identity. Is that a bad thing? I don’t know.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in world politics. Murray presents a clear and concise case heavily laden with statistics and first hand accounts. The importance of this work in understanding the fate of the West cannot be overstated. This book is arguably the most important piece of non-fiction in the West right now.

Having left Europe for Australia as a refugee from a communist country 30+ years ago, I did my best to adapt to my new continent in every sense. Watching out for European events remained important all the same. It took this book to understand dramatic, confusing and alarming changes to the land of my origins. I listened to the whole book several times. While the contents are at times breathtakingly difficult to bear, Douglas Murray's style in both writing and reading this book makes listening to the book enjoyable.

One of the most important books I have ever read

a very well written book. Murray takes on a subject matter few public figures will even discuss. thought provoking, insightful and providing great concern, this book should be widely read and it's contents seriously considered.

very important book
