On Democracies and Death Cults by Douglas Murray
Summary Reading On Democracies and Death Cults by Douglas Murray produced a shock that transformed into grief within me. This book demonstrates much more than political situations since it presents an intensely personal exploration of one of the blackest events in modern history. The brutal inhuman attacks which Hamas launched on Israel on October 7, 2023, seem too horrible to recount because they create a fresh pain in our hearts. As both a journalist, witness and mourning individual, Murray reveals his experience of that deadly day.
