America Alone:

The End of the World as We Know it
Front Cover
387 Reviews
Regnery Publishing, 2006 - Political Science - 224 pages
In his first major book, concervative columnist Steyn takes on the anti-Americanism that fuels both Old Europe and radical Islam. America, Steyn argues, will have to stand alone. The future, Steyn shows, belongs to the fecund and the confident. The Islamists are both, while the West--wedded to a multiculturalism that undercuts its own confidence, a welfare state that nudges it toward sloth and self-indulgence, and a childlessness that consigns it to oblivion--is looking ever more like the ruins of a civilization. Europe is almost certainly a goner. The future, if the West has one, belongs to America alone--with maybe its cousins in brave Australia. But America can survive, prosper, and defend its freedom only if it continues to believe in itself, in the sturdier virtues of self-reliance (not government), in the centrality of family, and in the conviction that our country really is the world's last best hope.--From publisher description.

Review: America Alone: The End of the World As We Know It

User Review  - Priti - Goodreads

One man's obnoxious and arrogant opinions delivered with no shortfall of insight. I can't say I agree with all of his strong cultural generalizations but I will admit to enjoying his sense of wit and laughing out loud on more than one occasion. Read full review

Review: America Alone: The End of the World As We Know It

User Review  - Art King - Goodreads

Mark Steyn is so quotable! This book if full of great zingers, pithy quotes, thought-provoking one-liners. I'm more optimistic than he is about the Islamic threat, but agree with him about the demographic collapse. Great read. Read full review
