Douglas Murray has written what is probably the most important book of the last 50 years. His extremely readable The Strange Death of Europe clarifies so many issues that are swirling around our lives. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the state of the Western world today. I had the distinct pleasure of spending a couple of hours with Murray while he was on a recent trip to Los Angeles.

But enemies are bearable so...
