Description
'We need books like this' Literary Review
'Western Europe became a multiethnic society in a fit of absence of mind.'
Taking us from English suburbs to Parisian housing estates, this provocative, unflinching and engrossing book tackles uncomfortable questions about immigration and Islam head-on, and asks: why can't we face the truth?

Reviews
Caldwell is a bracing, clear-eyed analyst of European pieties . . . this book pulsates with ideas * Observer *
The most rigorous and plainspoken examination of Muslim immigration in Europe to date . . . well researched, fervently argued and morally serious * New York Times *
Dispenses a sharp common sense . . . If his book sharpens a so far sluggish debate, it will have served an important purpose -- Martin Woollacott * Guardian *
Reflections on the Revolution in Europe will inspire some readers, infuriate others and leave very few indifferent. That's exactly as it should be - because wherever you stand on this debate, it's one we can't afford to ignore. * Sunday Business Post *
