Celsius 7/7 (Paperback)

"He does an excellent job of contextualising the intellectual and political appeal that Islamism holds while examining the failures in Western approaches to the problem. This is a timely, thought-provoking and thorough argument."

"This title apes Michael Moore's polemical Fahrenheit 9/11, but this is not a bombastic broadside. Gove - a Tory MP and Times columnist - denies that the war has made Britain a target, arguing that we have not done enough to punish regimes that sponsor terrorism." (THE TIMES )

"All I can really urge you to do is buy it. It's a truly marvellous book about the refusal in the West to acknowledge the reality and scale of the Islamist threat to civilisation. It ought to be compulsory reading.... It's so well written that it is impossible to put down. Gove ranges across the history of Islamism, the reality of today's terror, the real role of Israel and the response of Western liberals. It's a book that needed to be written. Buy it here. You won't regret it." (Stephen Pollard, David Blunkett's biographer www.stephenpollard.net - political blog )

"a terrific oped in today's Times, excerpted from his forthcoming book, Celsius 7/7" (David Frum, Bush's former speechwriter http://frum.nationalreview.com )

"brilliant, essential and terrifying... lucid, unhysterical, informed - the landmark book that, together with Melanie Philips's Londonistan, finally acknowledges the scale of the problem before us... Gove's book has arrived not a moment too soon." (JAMES DELINGPOLE THE MAIL ON SUNDAY )

on Tuesday I went to hear an MP speak at a debate and was surprised by how surprised I was that he managed to be both persuasive and articulate. The MP was Michael Gove and he was arguing that the West's policy of appeasement has provoked yet more fundamentalist terror.... he has just written a book on this subject, Celsius 7/7... it reminded me that it is still possible to feel inferior to politicians." (Nigel Farndale SUNDAY TELEGRAPH )

"a superb book on the threat of Islamism" (MATTHEW D'ANCONA SUNDAY TELEGRAPH )

"I have never seen the argument for a robust response to the threat spelt out so clearly and succinctly as in Gove's book... Best of all is his analysis of the role that the Israel issue has played in the debate about terrorism and Middle Eastern policy." (THE SPECTATOR )

Michael Gove is one of the rising stars of the British parliamentary Conservative party on account of the exceptional depth and lucidity of his thinking. Almost alone among British politicians, he courageously opposes the ugly anti-Americanism and hatred of Israel which are currently convulsing British society. His new book, Celsius 7/7, is a brilliant analysis of Britain's wilful blindness in refusing to grasp the true nature and extent of the Islamist war upon the west

and the resulting culture of appeasement which threatens to undermine Britain's special relationship with America. At a time when the hostilities in the Middle East are ratcheting up Britain's state of denial to an unprecedented level of irrationality and prejudice, Gove's urgent wake-up call could not be more timely or prescient. (MELANIE PHILIPS )

"Attacks on Israel are merely a small part of what global Islamism is about. As Michael Gove points out in Celsius 7/7 - his short but brilliant guide to the global threat we all face - as fascism degraded nationalism and communism betrayed socialism, Islamism is a political creed that perverts Islam." (RUTH DUDLEY EDWARDS, historian of The Economist, IRISH INDEPENDENT )

"Gove does not take prisoners... Gove has done us all a service by uncovering the extremist antecedents of the "moderate" Muslim spokesmen feted by the race relations industry and its sympathisers in the BBC." (DAILY TELEGRAPH )

"Michael Gove is one of the most media-savvy young politicians in Britain. And now, with the release of this remarkable and important book, he has also become one of the most important... one of the best and most important books on the Middle East and the problems facing the West through Islamism to have been published in recent years... the political book of the year so far." (JOHN SPAIN IRISH INDEPENDENT )

"long, well informed and persuasive.... Gove provides the essential background - the origins of Islamist radicalism from Sayed Qutb to Maududi, the role of the Muslim Brotherhood and its main present-day representatives, the aims of the jihadists." (WALTER LAQUEUR THE TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT )

"Gove's coruscating book makes an impassioned case" (SUNDAY BUSINESS POST )

"He does an excellent job of contextualising the intellectual and political appeal that Islamism holds while examining the failures in Western approaches to the problem. This is a timely, thought-provoking and thorough argument." (GOOD BOOK GUIDE )
