Fistfights With Muslims In Europe: One Man's Journey Through Modernity
Part travelogue, part Fight Club, part sociological study; Fistfights With Muslims In Europe: One Man's Journey Through Modernity catalogues the author's travels in Europe over a five-year span in the 2000's, and how they impacted his personal and political journey.
Several fistfights with Muslim immigrants would catalyze introspection and awakening and bring the the author a more nuanced view of Islam and Middle-Eastern culture, as well as startling insights into the place of men in the modern world. These experiences, combined with troubling observations of contemporary European behavior, lead to a terrifying glimpse into the future of modern Europe.
The book combines first-person narrative, especially early on, with an appropriate mix of exposition, history, and analysis. Drawing into the discussion the works of authors such as Jack Donovan, William S. Lind, Omar Nasiri, Tamim Ansari, and others, the author delivers both an exciting tale of trial and growth, as well as a detailed examination of the peril that modern Europe finds itself in.

In a sense, a weird book, with a twist. The autor describes the process of exploring his being Man, in an age where men are supposed to be effeminate, suppressing their every primal urge. He does this by looking for fights. Not in the sense that he attacks a person, but rather by not backing down. He gets provoked and defends himself instead of lying down and taking a beating, or begging for his life, or simply running off. None of that, just taking a stand. He describes feeling truly alive after such encounters, even though they were not quite all victories. On the contrary, one fight he took a serious beating. The author tested his mettle and found it.
Very unexpectedly the author, American by birth, European in spirit, also displays a very keen eye for observation and envisioning. He describes Europe's drive towards cultural disintegration by importing large groups of people that refuse to be integrated, that refuse to share in maintaining the state as we know it. He observes how this group aggressively drives for dominance. He names the beast as well: Islam. He also writes down his observations on the kind and friendly European behaviour, bereft of all sense of defending itself against the onslaught that is going on, unknowing as to what is really happening, preferring not to see.
A dark picture is painted for the future of Europe, one that has been described in the Koran as the prophet offered his enemies a number of choices; convert, submit or die. Can Europe reinvent its moral fibre and stand up to the dangers it is facing? Can its people shake loose its nihilistic and unreal outlooks on life? Can it survive the civil war that is to come?
An easy-to-read book, pleasantly written, on a dark and unpleasant subject. If you are used to politically correct works and by necessity feel the urge to expand your horizon beyond the safe and approved, give it a go.

Totally engaging, thoroughly modern, absolutely on target. The millennial generation is finding itself.
I have been waiting half a lifetime for this book to appear. To be more exact, the half of a lifetime since my own family of millennials was born. Langness articulates misgivings which I could sense but not put my finger on during the 1990s.
It is thrilling to read the account of a millennial who understands their situation so well at a young age. It did not gel for me until a few years after retirement, as the last one was leaving for college. I finally divorced, moved to a healthy country, remarried and started a second family. Though the 30 years it took me to figure things out can never be recovered, the evidence of my young family is that I seem to have learned fairly well from my experience.
This review is thus the endorsement of ideas that Julian Langness has gathered through his own reading and observation, but which I know from life experience. It is divided into five parts, following as comments:
• Langness' assessment of the situation of modern America and Americans.
• Langness' assessment of modern Europe, and the Muslim invasion.
• Masculinity and fighting – comments from my own experience.
• The structure of the book itself, a wonderful example of how a book should be put together, a model for the book I am writing.
• An extensive bibliography. Langness has read an extraordinary amount for a man in his early 30s.
I have been retired longer than he has been reading books for adult consumption. As a top 500 Amazon reviewer I can recommend many to supplement and corroborate his bibliography.

Excellent but missed core issue what isreally wrong with west
It urges basically men to embrace traditional manhood. But ignores that male virtues are frowned upon and current female vices are celebrated. Traditional men may not feel part of the society they ought to defend.

Takes 2 hours to finish. A bit dated (was written in 2015) but the problems illustrated have only gotten worse. The EU and Britain will have some very hard decisions to make in the near future if they wish to continue to exist as European nations or submit to Islam.

Excellent read
I give a five star rating because the writer gives a non religious view point of the Muslim invasion of Europe, the ineffectiveness of gender neutral mindsets that has made sense of masculinity a bastard idea.

Not what I expected
This book was like a long essay but I appreciated the nuance he brought to the point of view, his respect for the strength of another culture, and the ultimate truth of his conclusion.
