The challenging and brilliantly-argued new book from the bestselling author of The Strange Death of Europe

---

In his devastating new book The Madness of Crowds, Douglas Murray examines the twenty-first century´s most divisive issues: sexuality, gender, technology and race. He reveals the astonishing new culture wars playing out in our workplaces, universities, schools and homes in the names of social justice, identity politics and ´intersectionality´.

We are living through a postmodern era in which the grand narratives of religion and political ideology have collapsed. In their place have emerged a crusading desire to right perceived wrongs and a weaponization of identity, both accelerated by the new forms of social and news media. Narrow sets of interests now dominate the agenda as society becomes more and more tribal - and, as Murray shows, the casualties are mounting.

Readers of all political persuasions cannot afford to ignore Murray´s masterfully argued and fiercely provocative book, in which he seeks to inject some sense into the discussion around this generation´s most complicated issues. He ends with an impassioned call for free speech, shared common values and sanity in an age of mass hysteria.

Simply brilliant. Reading it to the end, I felt as though I´d just drawn my first full breath in years. At a moment of collective madness, there is nothing more refreshing - or, indeed, provocative - than sanity.
