Douglas Murray’s non-fiction spans 25 years and covers a wide range of subjects. His first book, Bosie: A Biography of Lord Alfred Douglas (2000), was a literary biography of Oscar Wilde’s lover, published when Murray was just nineteen. He followed it with Neoconservatism: Why We Need It (2005), a political argument that drew on his work with the Henry Jackson Society. Victims of Intimidation (2008) examined threats to free speech in Europe, and Bloody Sunday (2011) analyzed the Saville Inquiry into the 1972 shootings in Northern Ireland.

Murray’s later books brought him a much larger audience. The Strange Death of Europe (2017) argued that immigration and a loss of cultural identity were fundamentally changing the continent. It became a number one bestseller and was translated into over 20 languages. The Madness of Crowds (2019) took on identity politics, examining debates around gender, race, and technology. The War on the West (2022) extended these arguments further. His most recent work, On Democracies and Death Cults (2025), focuses on the Israel-Hamas conflict and broader questions about civilization. Each book has drawn both fierce criticism and strong support, which is consistent with Murray’s position as one of the more polarizing voices in British public life.
