We think of Europe as the charming continent of windmills and gondolas. But lately, Europe has become the continent of endless strikes and demonstrations, bombs on the trains and subways, radical Islamic cells in every city, and ghettos so hopeless and violent even the police won’t enter them. This isn’t the Europe we thought we knew.
Tracing the ancient conflicts and newly erupting crises across the continent, journalist Claire Berlinski reveals why Islamic radicalism and terrorist indoctrination flourish as Europe fails to assimilate millions of Muslim immigrants; how long-repressed destructive instincts are suddenly reemerging; how the death of religious faith has created a hopeless, morally unmoored Europe that clings to dangerous ideologies; why the notion of a united Europe is a fantasy, and what it all means for the United States.

"If for nothing else, get this book for its chapter about sustainable food as a substitute religion for the otherwise faithless. The chapter is called "The Nine Lives of Jose Bove" and it is a tour de force." — Ezra (4 out of 5 stars)
"If for nothing else, get this book for its chapter about sustainable food as a substitute religion for the otherwise faithless. The chapter is called "The Nine Lives of Jose Bove" and it is a tour de force."
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Original, fascinating, and important…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.”
" Well written, provocative look at why Europe has not assimilated its immigrant population well and why this will lead to its downfall if it doesn't address the crisis soon. "
" Clear concise, well research in most areas. This is a must read for anyone considered about international religious issues! "
