About this listen
From the Sunday Times No. 1 Bestselling Author
Douglas Murray, international bestselling author and renowned cultural commentator confronts what he views as the most pressing issue of our time: why Western support of the Palestinian cause is ultimately playing into the hands of a much more dangerous force.
Drawing from intensive on-the-ground reporting in Israel, Gaza and Lebanon, Murray presents a compelling case that places the latest violence in its historical context. He takes readers on a harrowing journey through the aftermath of the 7 October 2023 massacre, piecing together exclusive accounts from victims, survivors and even the terrorists responsible for the atrocities.
On Democracies and Death Cults argues that Israel’s commitment to fundamental Western values – capitalism, individual rights, democracy and reason – has made it a beacon of progress in a region dominated by authoritarianism and extremism. Murray contrasts Israel’s principles with the ideology of Hamas, which openly proclaims its love of death over life. If left unchecked, Murray argues, this misplaced Western sympathy could embolden forces that seek to undermine democratic values and perpetuate a culture of violence.
Clear-eyed and deeply reasoned, On Democracies and Death Cults is a gripping and essential read for all who seek to understand the complexities of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict and its implications for the future of democracy – and for the world itself.

Clear sighted investigative journalism
A thoroughly researched book that brings historical context, first person sources and extensive on-the-ground reporting to what had been one of the most horrific things to happen in the Middle East, an event which many continue to misapprehend. Murray states his position with clarity and conviction. His book is a testament to upholding democratic values and life.

A Journo not a Narrator
A forensic investigation for those interested in geopolitics, Israel’s role in the West, or the cultural challenges facing democracies, but approach with an open mind and readiness for a provocative stance. Opt for a print version rather than the audio. What a snob.

A must read for all in the West (before it’s too late!)
Although this book delves into the atrocities committed by Hamas, it is also full of hope showing how good people can stand up in the face of adversity.

Truth Will Out
Despite the horror of the truth of this book, it is the most gentle journey through it.
Douglas Murray has lead an incredibly interesting life, and what he shares of this life can be sobering. His insights & observations of people comes through.
This book is a must read for those who, don't believe, ignorance is not fashionable, nor does it make you appear intelligent, wake up.

Brilliant Brilliant
What a book. Loved every minute. Could listen to it again. So much information supported by facts. Truly a masterful achievement by Douglas.
Interesting Educational and a gripping account through the eyes and mind of someone who has taken the time to research, visit, interview and analyse the real situation of the conflict.
