America Alone: The End of the World As We Know It

Unlike statistics, hard numbers don't lie
I don't recommend reading this book as a night time reader - it is too scary! Unlike most books that use statistics to justify their point, Mr. Steyn presents numbers from various nations and demographic subsets that are revealing for the future of Western Europe and ...
