Douglas Murray fights the good fight for freedom of speech … A truthful look at today’s most divisive issues

[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.

Whether one agrees with him or not, Douglas Murray is one of the most important public intellectuals today.

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.

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.

An abomination

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

Graceful and witty

Necessary and provocative

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.

Murray’s book performs a great service

Fascinating … Much of what Murray writes is pertinent and hard to disagree with

Murray is a superbly perceptive guide through the age of the social justice warrior

Murray’s book raises urgent questions about how people should conduct themselves in today’s age of “wokeness”’

Murray’s was the third critical interrogation of this subject that I read this summer, and it is the best.

A profoundly helpful insight on the hysteria of cancel culture.
