Neoconservatism: Why We Need It is a vigorous defence of the most controversial political philosophy of our age. In this timely book Douglas Murray explains what neoconservatism is, in theory and practise. He defends it against its critics and explains why despite the noisy claims of its opponents - neoconservatism is good.

Murray is the first person to make a sustained case for why neoconservatism is relevant to Britain. And neoconservatism, it is argued, is the future not just of the British Conservative party, but of any political party committed to the ideals of freedom at home and abroad.

This book calls for the introduction of neoconservative ideas into British politics, explaining why this is necessary and how it could be achieved.

The early chapters explain neoconservatisms roots and forebears. A chapter on the Iraq war demonstrates the moral and political vacuum now gripping both left and right in Britain. Finally Murray details what British neoconservatism should look like and why the need for it is so urgent.

A highly inferred book - read this if you want to save western civilisation

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 April 2018

Verified Purchase

Like most people I’ve watched Douglas Murray on YouTube and have a copy of his more recent book, ‘the strange death of europe’. The beginning of this book is a little bit slow but don’t be put off because Mr Murray is building up to deal a devastating blow to everything that the politically correct brigade hold dear, and he proceeds to dissect it slither by slither. This book has actually given me hope that not all is lost in the U.K. and political correctness hasn’t left us in such a state that there’s nothin worth trying to defend any more - and he’s made me not feel bad about it. The take home message is that it’s down to all of us not to apologise for being British and wanting to defend our culture and values from politicians and Eurocrats who care about little more than political cuteness, multiculturalism, diversity, and appeasing extremists. Because, as Mr Murray says in his latest book, if that’s all being British is, then there isn’t much to protect and fight for.

Typographical errors spoil a well written book.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 May 2018

As with other Kindle books, there are quite a few typographical errors in this book.
I am not familiar with how a Kindle edition makes the transition from the paper version - whether these errors are caused by inaccurate and poor typing, or they are the author's mistakes.
Kindle editions are not, as one would have thought, a lot cheaper than the paper version. Errors in typing make the product look cheap and slung together.

The title remains true

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 August 2020

The Kindle edition has a number of typos, Ira for Iraq and the number 1 for some odd reason, but beyond that it’s an excellent read; I only wish I’d read it before.

Murray describes the world current state perfectly and I think that is the most horrific truth, it remains the same as it was in 2004 when this book was released; maybe it is even worse!

My only concern is that I can see no neocon politicians in British politics. This book does need a new forward; one the frames the book based on Brexit and increasing Islamic fundamentalism and woke culture.

Interesting and Worthwhile Reading

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 September 2018

Verified Purchase

I had not previously read this topic and found the early part of the book slow but have given four stars due to the very insightful research and presentation of sections three and four on Iraq and America respectfully. Well written and worth reading.

Interesting but lazy

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 May 2020

Verified Purchase

The first three chapters make an interesting argument b!t the final and longest chapter of the book is disappointing and is more of a tirade than anything worthy of an airing or an audience. This is somewhat surprising from Douglas Murray who is usually more rigorous.

Mr. E. S. Ford

A good and easy to read description of neoconservative ideology

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 February 2016

Verified Purchase

A great book that completely changed my view of what it means to be neoconservative. Murray gives a clear history and description of neoconservative idelology and relates this to many of the issues that face modern Britain. An antidote to liberal, left, socialist politics that are so prevelant today.

Enlightening

Well written, clear description about neoconservatism and where it originally came from. Very thought provoking, a lot reflected my own views for which I had never had a name. Some of it I found very uncomfortable.

Michael Faulkner

A great introduction.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 September 2015

Douglas Murray, in clear terms, outlines what Neoconservatism is, and why it matters. The irony however, is the while Europe is moving in a more conservative or neoconservative direction, America is becoming more liberal.
