There is a fundamental contradiction at the heart of American politics that has endured since our nation’s birth. In The Reactionary Spirit, Beauchamp explains what he calls the reactionary spirit: as strides towards true democracy are made, there is always a faction that reacts by seeking to undermine them and thereby resist change. Brilliantly combining political history and reportage, Beauchamp reveals how the United States was the birthplace of this strange and harrowing authoritarian style, and why we’re now seeing its evolution in diverse nations including Hungary, Israel, and India.

The oral presentation was well articulated. It would have been helpful had the story been edited down by about a third.

The Strange Death of Europe is a highly personal account of a continent and culture caught in the act of suicide. Declining birth rates, mass immigration, and cultivated self-distrust and self-hatred have come together to make Europeans unable to argue for themselves and incapable of resisting their own comprehensive alteration as a society and an eventual end.

Magnificent Narration

Would you listen to The Strange Death of Europe again? Why?
This is quite a tome, but it is so brilliantly narrated that the history and the political warning the book posits are captivating in this spoken version.
What did you like best about this story?
The narration by Robert Davies. His voice, his timing, his ability to voice different speakers - all are exceptional.
Any additional comments?
Thanks to the author, Douglas Murray, the narrator, Robert Davies, and to Audible for making this book available in spoken format.
