A truthful look at today's most divisive issues' Jordan B. Peterson '[Murrays] latest book is beyond brilliant and should be read, must be read, by everyone' Richard Dawkins Are we living through the great derangement of our times? In The Madness of Crowds Douglas Murray investigates the dangers of woke culture and the rise of identity politics.

One of the few writers who dares to counter the prevailing view and question the dramatic changes in our society from gender reassignment for children to the impact of transgender rights on women Murrays penetrating book, now published with a new afterword taking account of the book's reception and responding to the worldwide Black Lives Matter protests, clears a path of sanity through the fog of our modern predicament.
