WILL WE GO DOWN IN THE IMPLOSION?

Thanks to collapsing birthrates, much of Europe is on a path of willed self-extinction. The untold story is that birthrates in Muslim nations are declining faster than anywhere else--at a rate never before documented. Europe, even in its decline, may have the resources to support an aging population, if at a terrible economic and cultural cost. But in the impoverished Islamic world, an aging population means a civilization on the brink of total collapse-- something Islamic terrorists know and fear.

Muslim decline poses new threats to America, challenges we cannot even understand, much less face effectively, without a wholly new kind of political analysis that explains how desperate peoples and nations behave.

In How Civilizations Die, David P. Goldman--author of the celebrated "Spengler" column read by intelligence organizations worldwide--reveals how, almost unnoticed, massive shifts in global power are remaking our future.

Goldman reveals:

• How extinctions of peoples, cultures, and civilizations are not unthinkable--but certain
  
• How for the first time in world history, the birthrate in the West has fallen below replacement level
  
• Why birthrates in the Muslim world are falling even faster
  
• Why the "Arab Spring" is the precursor of much more violent change in the Islamic world
  
• Why looming demographic collapse may encourage Islamic terrorists to "go for broke"
  
• How the United States can survive the coming world turmoil
