It is now in vogue to celebrate non-Western cultures and disparage Western ones. Murray shows inconsistent anti-West rhetoric is in part an intellectual fraud perpetuated by hostile nations and human rights abusers hoping to distract from their own ongoing villainy. Dictators who slaughter their own people are happy to mimic the language of antiracism and "pro-justice" movements while making authoritarian conquests. He provides an incisive takedown of foolish anti-Western arguments, as well as a rigorous new apologetic for civilization itself. -- adapted from jacket |
