The Self-Destruction of Europe is a very personal account of a continent and a culture caught in a suicidal act. Declining birth rates, mass immigration, and cultivated self-distrust and self-loathing have combined to render Europeans unable to argue for themselves and confront their own complex changes as a society. This book is not only an analysis of demographic and political realities, but also an eyewitness to a continent in self-destructive mode. This edition includes reports from across the continent, from the places where migrants land to the places they go.

Told from this first-hand perspective and backed by impressive research and evidence, the book examines the dismal failure of multiculturalism, Angela Merkel's turnaround on migration, the lack of repatriation and the west's fixation on guilt. Murray travels to Berlin, Paris, Scandinavia, Lampedusa and Greece to uncover the malaise at the heart of European culture and hear the stories of those who have come to Europe from far and wide. In each chapter, he also takes a step back to look at the larger issues behind the continent's death wish, answering the question why would anyone, let alone an entire civilisation, do this to itself? He concludes with two visions of Europe - one hopeful, one pessimistic - that paint a picture of a Europe in crisis and offer choices about what we can do next.
