Publisher's Summary
Bloomsbury presents The Madness of Crowds written and read by Douglas Murray.
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
A Times and Sunday Times Book of the Year
Updated with a new afterword by the author
'Douglas Murray fights the good fight for freedom of speech ... A truthful look at today's most divisive issues' – Jordan B. Peterson
'[Murray’s] latest book is beyond brilliant and should be read, must be read, by everyone' – Richard Dawkins
Are we living through the great derangement of our times?
In The Madness of Crowds Douglas Murray investigates the dangers of ‘woke’ culture and the rise of identity politics. In lively, razor-sharp prose he examines the most controversial issues of our moment: sexuality, gender, technology and race, with interludes on the Marxist foundations of ‘wokeness’, the impact of tech and how, in an increasingly online culture, we must relearn the ability to forgive.
One of the few writers who dares to counter the prevailing view and question the dramatic changes in our society – from gender reassignment for children to the impact of transgender rights on women – Murray’s penetrating book, now published with a new afterword taking account of the book's reception and responding to the worldwide Black Lives Matter protests, clears a path of sanity through the fog of our modern predicament.

a warning against Leftist identity politics
Sarcasm, satire, sincerity and masterful writing concerning the culture wars currently occupying the West. The author outlines the perils of victimhood being the highest moral virtue of this age, over stoicism or heroism for example. Excellent audio performance by the author too.

Must be heard. Our cultures depend on it.
A perfect summation of the decline in basic liberties that we have endured, and seemingly accepted, with so little thought and so little pushback.

Insightful but a bit of a drag
the book is brilliant as one of the very few books one can find on this particular issue kudos to the author, however a lot of early chapters deal with the issues one already knows and is aware of if they read news daily, not until much later author makes some insightful chapters about the internal war of the Alphabets and other disasters. writings this book being gay nonetheless is an act of courage in itself! cheers Murray!

Thought only I had been thinking same
the way I thought about things that changed in india with religion disputes , language dispute and caste disputes. author points out other disputes of cultural difference . brilliant was when author actually demonstrate it better than that of me. I am great full to hard work of author that he really kept me thinking of the changes and stagnant (stability of brain ) in such wide spectrum and let me understand the problem from so many direction. I would listen it again . thank you and regards
Douglas

Greatly read what he masterfully wrote!
It is absolutely pertinent today. Hope this starts a discussion and brings politics out of the rut it is in today.

Perfect in Every Sense
You would come across such a balanced overview which describes the present madness about race, gender and identity driven by the wokes and shared by many. If anyine desires to steer our society to the right direction and if anyone believes that western civilisation is not a uni-dimentional ideology of hate and oppression, then this is the Bible.
Must Read for All.
