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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"America Alone is Mark Steyn at his best: funny and irreverent, even while assembling well-reasoned and complex arguments in support of serious insights." (Human Events)
"In America Alone Steyn's acerbic wit and relentless pursuit of politically incorrect truths show how Islam is gradually conquering the West by reverse assimilation, aided and abetted by global-warming ecochondriacs, craven multiculturalists, and self-detonating Islamists of the Muslim baby boom." (Jed Babbin, author of Inside the Asylum)

A 5-star book that I gave 4 because Mr. Stein should have read it! His marvelous senes of humor doesn't come through with this narrator which is a real shame. I would be willing to re-purchase this download if Mr. Stein were to re-record it. Anyway--I HOPE HE'S WRONG, and I don't agree with everything but his brutal collection of demographic evidence and history is compelling. More importantly, he NAILS the inherent, fatal weakness of our current wishy-washy, cultural relevatism in the face of assertive, aggressive, devout belief! By the time you realize what's happening--it's too late! (...as it already is in Europe and soon will be in the U.S.A.)

Brute demographics!

Mark Steyn runs the billiard table from William Buckley to, sadly, Glenn Beck, Michele Bachmann, and Rush Limbaugh in “America Alone”. His commentary ranges from erudite insight to conservative rant.

Listening to Brian Emerson’s narration of Steyn’s book makes one smile and cringe. In one section Steyn intelligently reflects on the demographics of world population and then, in the next page, whips out a Glenn Beck-like’ riff on the name “Muhammad” that sounds like Michele Bachmann’s guilt-by-association comment about ex-Senator Wiener’s wife’s meeting with a Muslim Brotherhood representative; i.e. Steyn incriminates the entire Muslim religion by inferring that it is a fascist conspiracy to take over the world.

Steyn is obviously well read and informed but one feels like he plays the publicity game of talking heads like Rush Limbaugh that have the objective of being darlings of an ideological minority that can make them rich. Steyn wastes his intelligence; pandering to an ideological constituency rather than serving the general public by searching for the truth.

There is a truth and it lies in freedom and equal opportunity. Demographics are not destiny; i.e. demographics are a part of the human condition that can be managed by recognizing human nature’s fundamentals and conscientiously creating nations that are governed by rule-of-law.

TRUTH

I like the content of the book--you have to be interested in a conservative analysis of the middle east and current affairs. Steyn displays great breadth in his scholarship, skipping around effortlessly between Greek philosophers, Shakespeare, and contemporary pundits. His acerbic wit is hilarious; as readers we'd laugh a good deal harder if our own demise wasn't the butt of the joke.

The problem I have with the audiobook is the narration: monotone, pedantic, and hardly ever seeming to "get" Steyn's humor. I miss Steyn's Aussie accent, which can carry sarcasm like the British do without really offending because it all sounds so--jovial and good natured. This narrator sounds merely ponderous, without any of the lightness the language demands. He has this really annoying practice of ending sentences with an ascending tone, like he's asking a question when he's not. Completely affected!! I think it's a book that's more enjoyable read rather than heard, at least in this rendition.

Great content, lousy narration

Every American needs to read and absorb this information. A very clear and well defined analysis of what is happening in America now.

A must read

Mark is a wonderful commentator and even better writer. Combine the two and you’ve got insight, sagedom and humor. Unfortunately, Mark doesn’t get to read his own book here. All the listener can do is threw up their hands and scream “WHY?!?!?!”

Great Book, poor narration. Where’s Mark Steyn???

I found his thesis fascinating. The demographic changes that we have all heard rumbles about are spelled out here in frightening detail. It is amazing to think that these great western societies, which have brought us everything from modern science and medicine to the first real slavery abolition movement in human history, are simply destroying themselves by selfishly not breeding. The concept of the perpetual adolescence brought on, largely, by the social democratic state making sure their population is not self reliant in an interesting one I had not thought of before. I have heard for years that great societies fall because of the collapse of the family but I have never understood the case for this until now. This book is a great, if somewhat disturbing, read. Let us hope that the author is wrong and that the west (Europe, Japan) can pull itself out of its own self inflicted demographic death spiral.

Brilliant social analysis; witty. It is also true.

Essential reading

The book is humorously frightening. Steyn develops a future possibility whereby Americanism is threatened by us doing nothing to prevent the rupturing and disposal of the morals and virtues which helped creat this great country.
I was hoping Steyn would narrate his novel, but the gentleman who did the narration did so very well.

Still timely!!

I don’t agree with everything said but for the most part the book is a chilling eye opener.

Very good book
