    <![CDATA[In this, his first major book, Mark Steyn--probably the most widely read, and wittiest, columnist in the English-speaking world--takes on the great poison of the twenty-first century: the anti-Americanism that fuels both Old Europe and radical Islam. America, Steyn argues, will have to stand alone.  The world will be divided between America and the rest; and for our sake America had better win.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Steyn has created an amusing but also insightful and at times, frightening depiction of what the world may look like 20-30 years from now. This &quot;Armageddon&quot; book however is different from the regular apocalyptic fare. Instead of a prophecy of missile attacks or demons emerging from volcanoes, Mark Steyn paints a picture of the world entering a new dark age, due to a population takeover by extremist Islam. And all the while Steyn discusses the numerous elements that will play into this &quot;apocalypse&quot;, his unmistakable sense of humor never ceases to creep out and keep the reader from becoming utterly bored or depressed with &quot;the end of the world.&quot; <br/><br/>This book is definitely not recommended for people who dislike Steyn's newspaper and magazine columns. It is also not recommended for anyone who does not care for &quot;Conservative&quot; jokes. The book is a polarized affair, but if if you can look past the conservative mantra, then be ready to start laughing as you look towards doomsday.<br/><br/><br/>]]></body>
