Can you actually reason with madness? 'The Madness Of Crowds' by Douglas Murray is an extension of his own fight in the cultural wars as a journalist and political commentator. The book is split into 4 parts each of about 50-60 pages long on Gay/Women/Race/Trans. It highlights the modern absurdities of far left thinking, the historical treatment of minority groups and the implications of getting this all wrong.
I summarised the book as follows. "It is smoothly written considering the density of topics and does not feel like a bludgeoning of information/stories. The shocking absurdities are told in a humorous style and is a superb analysis of the current times. It's a book of idea landmines and Douglas is running through full pelt with clown shoes on. A brave soul indeed!"
As always, we hope you enjoy, Mere Mortals out!
