The War on the West by Douglas Murray 2023 Paperback New

Description: The War on the Westby Douglas Murray Synopsis: In his thought-provoking book, "The War on the West," Douglas Murray challenges the prevailing narrative that only Western nations should bear the blame for the dark aspects of human history. Murray, an internationally acclaimed political writer, questions why it has become acceptable to celebrate the contributions of non-Western cultures while avoiding discussions about their flaws and crimes. He argues that this double standard is not only unfair but also part of a larger attack on reason, democracy, and the citizens of the West.Murray begins by highlighting the rise of anti-Western revisionism in recent years. He argues that it is high time to revise the revisionists and question their motives. While acknowledging the need for a reckoning with the past, Murray asserts that some scholars, hatemongers, and hostile nations exploit this discourse to distract from their own ongoing villainy. He contends that the West is unfairly singled out for its historical wrongdoings, while the flaws and crimes of non-Western cultures are often overlooked or dismissed as hate speech.The author points out the paradoxical nature of the current discourse. On one hand, it is deemed acceptable to discuss the flaws and crimes of Western culture, but celebrating its contributions is labeled as hate speech. On the other hand, the contributions of non-Western cultures are celebrated, but discussing their flaws and crimes is also considered taboo.
