"Chilling, persuasive, and urgent. Most Americans prefer to think of 'The Old World' as charming, quaint, and irrelevant, but Berlinski shows why all of us need to worry about the harrowing dangers facing European civilization." --Michael Medved, nationally syndicated talk show host "Original, fascinating, and important. With deep knowledge and fresh insight, Berlinski shows how some of the problems swirling in Europe (such as nihilism and neo-Nazism) echo patterns from the distant past, while others (welfarism, childlessness, and Islamism) are novel. She warns non-Europeans: the region that nearly devastated the world in the twentieth century threatens again to inflict grievous damage in the twenty-first." --Daniel Pipes, director of the Middle East Forum "One of the wisest and most compulsively readable public intellectuals writing today, Berlinski presents a work of Orwellian foresight and Churchillian conviction that will tear a welcome hole in our complacency and teach us to rethink our political future." --Norah Vincent, former Los Angeles Times op-ed columnist "Serious, well researched--and riveting. More than a piercing alarm over Muslim radicalism in Europe, this thoughtful book takes us on a tour of the continent's spiritual crisis. Berlinski weaves sociological insight and helpful historical analysis into accounts of everything from the sexual underside of immigration to the dynamics of assassination to Europe's cities without children to its self-extinguishing tolerance." --Stanley Kurtz, contributing editor at National Review Online From the Hardcover edition.
