Kurzbeschreibung
In this, his first major book, Mark Steyn - probably the most widely read, and wittiest, columnist in the English-speaking world - takes on the great poison of the twenty-first century: the anti-Americanism that fuels both Old Europe and radical Islam. America, Steyn argues, will have to stand alone. The world will be divided between America and the rest; and for our sake America had better win.

When I purchase and read the latest copy of The Western Standard, which is a Canadian conservative (yes, there is such a thing!) news magazine, the first article I always turn to is the column by Mark Steyn. For this reason, I purchased a copy of America Alone. As usual, Mr. Steyn brings to the readers attention the details that the politically correct mainstream media refuses to report. This book should be a compulsory read for all citizens of voting age in the Western democracies. Whether or not the book would open the eyes of a populace that has been fed a steady of diet of moral relativism/root cause/moral equivalance/multiculturalism by our self hating Leftist establishment would be interesting to find out.
Alas, Europe is now very likely a lost cause. Steyn's anology of the neutron bomb is right on the money; Europe within a generation or two will still have it's historic buildings and landmarks, but there just won't be any people with enlightened Western Christian based values living there. They will have been replaced by Muslims living under Sharia Law. Once that has happened, it remains to be seen whether or not the United States can survive in a Muslim dominated world bent on the destruction of The Great Satan.
The final irony is that Liberals who are so tolerant of everything will in the end find themselves living under the most intolerant religious political system ever devised.
NOTE: since I last wrote and posted my review on the Amazon.ca review section, Muslim groups have taken issue with author Mark Steyn and have dragged him in a "pseudo court", the Canadian Human Rights Commision, which has the ability to harrass and interrogate anyone of it's choosing, totally outside of the Canadian legal system. It seems Canada is also falling victim of political correctness trumping common sense. Free speech in Canada? Not if those who want to impose Sharia Law upon Canadians have their way.

An excellent take on world demographics and the consequences thereof, especially with regard to the situation here in Europe. Always at his best when the chips are down, Steyn once again is able to put his finger right on the pulse of the problems. America Alone (perhaps it should rather be titled "Europe Screwed") would be a funny read due to Steyn's wit if the subject matter were not so grave. But you will laugh anyway - it's impossible not to. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good laugh and happens to be pondering the fate of Europe.

I had the misfortune of living more than 40 years under the communist rule, so it is perhaps understandable that I am attracted to conservative (american) or classical liberal (european) ideas. I agree with the author that Europe with its overregulations and misconcieved multiculturism is moving in the very dangerous direction. The economic freedom is being curtailed and the backward religiously fundametalist immigrants are allowed to establish their ghettos in western countries, ignoring the constitutions of their host countries. If the demographic trends will continue unchecked, these countries will return to middle age civilization. The problem is that most of the mass media, political parties and governments are strongly influenced by left wing intellectuals, who are mostly concerned with wealth redistribution and very onesided perception of human rights.
Since I lived in ex Yugoslavia, I was able to watch how the Albanians took away Kosovo from Serbia with only the demographic weapon. And Albanians are no religious fanatics. I`m afraid that the result in France, Germany, UK, Holland, Belgium, Italy, Scandinavian countries will be even worse. The birth rate of original Europeans is for sure already beyond the point of no return and in two or three generations the reproductively vital immigrants will be able to seize the political power. However, such transition is always very violent.
In my opinion, the author Mark Steyn correctly determines the cause of this development. The social democratic european states stiffle free enterprise and through an excesive wealth distribution play a nanny state to its citizens. The motivation for hard work is diminishing but nobody has to care about his/her old age. A hedonistic culture has been developed and the children have for many become unnecessary burden. It is horrible that 30% of german women don`t bear any children!
The current financial crisis of EU reminds me again of ex Yugoslavia. For 40 years the aid money flowed from more developed republics to Kosovo and other underdeveloped republics but the result was ever widening development gap. Now, we are throwing money after Greece and I`m afraid, the result will be the same. The hypocrisy now is even bigger; the citizens of many countries, which are aiding Greece, have only 50% of greek wages, not to talk about salaries in the greek public sector.
Nevertheless, I think that Mark Steyn exaggerate a little. The history never follows in line with the forecasted trends. The best examples are the predictions 50 years ago from The Club of Rome. According to them, the industrial society would have grind to halt after 2000. The reversals of current trends will happen for sure. Just look at the last elections results in Hungary and Czech republic. The reality slowly sinks in the peoples minds. Nevertheless, Mark Steyn`s book is a healthy reminder of the present and future dangers confronting the old Europe!
