In On Democracies and Death Cults, bestselling author Douglas Murray argues how no less than the future of the Western World is at stake in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Drawing from intensive on-the-ground reporting in Israel, Gaza and Lebanon, Murray presents a compelling case that places the latest violence in its proper historical context. He takes readers on a harrowing journey through the aftermath of the 7th October massacre, piecing together the exclusive accounts from victims, survivors and even the terrorists responsible for the atrocities.
