The War on the West

Douglas Murray argues that Western civilization faces a sustained cultural and political attack through anti-Western rhetoric, historical revisionism and inconsistent standards of criticism. The book examines debates over colonialism, racism, national identity and the legacy of Enlightenment thought, contrasting criticism of Western societies with treatment of non-Western powers and ideologies. Murray contends that defenders of democracy, science and individual rights must make a clearer case for Western achievements while acknowledging historical wrongs.
