Editorial Review:

Product Description:
It's the end of the world as we know it. Someday soon, you might wake up to the call to prayer of a muezzin. Europeans already do. Liberals tell us that diversity is our strength while Talibanic enforcers cruise Greenwich Village burning books and barber shops, while the Supreme Court decides that sharia law doesn t violate the "separation of church and state," and the Hollywood Left decides to give up on gay rights in favor of the much safer charms of polygamy. If you think this can't happen, you haven't been paying attention, as the hilarious and provocative columnist Mark Steyn shows to devastating effect in this, his first book on American and global politics.

- Disturbing
This is a very easy read . It is disturbing and seems to be well researched in so far as I have been able (and willing) to verify. I believe this is a must read for every American. It is clear that this book is not irrational bashing of Islam and is generally accurate. No open minded thinking person can simply ignore the problems presented. Mark Steyn is as entertaining as he is provocative.

- America Ashamed!
This "book" is a xenophobic and racist screed by a phobic and phony author. There are no citations or bibliography because the whole vitriolic fantasy is the product of a fevered, backward, partisan imagination. To tag this with the word "truth" is about as accurate as tagging George Bush with "wise." If you find this book as offensive as I do, try something with more heft and accuracy on the subject of population change--try Jared Diamond's "Guns, Germs, and Steel."
Granted you have to use your brain to read that book. But the rewards are great.
"America Alone" deserves no stars at all.

- Serious work with an ironic twist, or two.
I very highly recommend this book to all who care about the world we in the West will leave to our children and the generations to follow.

This book gives a very good summary of the dilema facing Western Civilation. According to Mr. Steyn, we in the West have gotten into a bind because of our unwillingness to reproduce and our inability (or unwillingness)to defend our culture. Mr. Steyn is not so much critical of Islamic Culture as he is very pointed in drawing attention to the differences between Islam and Western Civilation. I am with Mr. Steyn in NOT opting for the nihilism of political correctness and seeing Western Civilation go down the drain of history.

Most of Europe does not agree with Mr. Steyn. Steyn points-out that Britain, France, Germany, Spain and ... Read More

- Everyone Should Read!
This is an excellent book explained with humor. Every American should read it and at least every politician on Capitol Hill!

- Fascinating Doomsday Prophecy
I am utterly fascinated and bewildered by the information contained in this book. While I have no way of knowing if the statistics used are valid--I presume they are--this creates a feeling in me that I may have done the wrong thing in bringing 3 children into the world, which will clearly be a different place before they leave it. This book is humorous and enlightening and should be required reading for everyone in America, especially the attendees at the Democrat Convention. Of course, they wouldn't believe it. A goodly number would probably welcome Mr. Steyn's description of the world at the end of the century. God help them!
