Douglas Murray fights the good fight for freedom of speech ... A
truthful look at today's most divisive issues
*Jordan B. Peterson, bestselling author of 12 Rules for Life*
[Murray’s] latest book is beyond brilliant and should be read, must
be read, by everyone. He mercilessly exposes the hypocrisy and
embarrassingly blatant contradictions that run rife through the
current ‘woke’ vogue.
*Richard Dawkins*
Whether one agrees with him or not, Douglas Murray is one of the
most important public intellectuals today.
*Bernard-Henri Lévy*
How can you not know about The Madness of Crowds? It’s actually the
book I’ve just finished. You can’t just not read these books, not
know about them.
*Tom Stoppard*
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.
*Sam Harris, author of five New York Times bestsellers and host of
the Making Sense podcast.*
An abomination
*Titania McGrath, author of Woke: A Guide to Social Justice*
This is an author who specialises in expressing what everyone sort
of knows already and is afraid to say ... well argued, well
supported and well observed
*Lionel Shriver*
Graceful and witty
*Guardian*
Necessary and provocative
*Evening Standard*
Impressive and lively … Murray’s comprehensive survey of the
prevailing madness will not persuade every reader. But it raises
the real questions of our times.
*Unherd*
Murray’s book performs a great service
*Financial Times*
Fascinating … Much of what Murray writes is pertinent and hard to
disagree with
*Sunday Times*
Murray is a superbly perceptive guide through the age of the social
justice warrior
*Daily Telegraph*
Murray’s book raises urgent questions about how people should
conduct themselves in today’s age of “wokeness”’
*Catholic Herald*
Murray's was the third critical interrogation of this subject that
I read this summer, and it is the best.
*The Times Saturday Review*
A profoundly helpful insight on the hysteria of cancel culture.
*Scottish Field*
