Wholly War is the attempt to unearth the truth about one of the world's most popular religions: Islam. Using an immensely popular Saudi Arabian produced Koran, the work examines some of Islam's core philosophies, such as Ramadan; Jihad and its gender politics, and assesses their virtues. Away from this more centralised attack, Wholly War picks apart some of the more wayward arguments of the Koran; in the process revealing its falsehoods and inaccuracies while exploring what kinds of people Ibrahim; Moses and Muhammad were. After deconstructing the shrill; intolerant and often very dangerous nature of both Islam and its manifesto, Moore turns his attention to the situation brewing in the West, where masses of people who have subscribed to these philosophies for generations have been brought to live. Here, a deadly combination of liberal politics and a dangerous theological philosophy are launching one of the most audacious assaults on a civilisation in history. In addition, Wholly War attempts to examine the murky nineteenth century-set origins of the European Union and looks at the British Labour Party's sleazy shift into a new brand of Leftist rhetoric; in the process, asking as to what went wrong and can it all be put back?

Old friends and new faces join the scholars, rogues and countrymen of Brensham with its crooked village street and crooked church spire. Among its rare individuals who share an obstinacy for making life a romantic andhilarious adventure are those lively landgirls, The Frolick Virgins, Dai, the hymn-singing postman, and William Hart who claimed to be descended from William Shakespeare and loved Pheemy, the young gypsy, not wisely but too well.

First published in 1946, following on from Portrait of Elmbury, the second in the series shows an England which now seems almost foreign in its remoteness. Evoked with an unerringly accurate eye, Brensham Village contains a mixture of action and character, conveying the life of a country community in the halcyon period between the wars. Sentimental it is, but not so as to undermine the picture of a time when a life of landed gentry, squalid poverty and routine village intimacy co-existed within a familiar seasonal routine.

This is the first book of the famous trilogy of English country life, The Brensham Trilogy, by John Moore. A wonderful and exuberant chronicle of an English market town between the wars, distinguished with a historic abbey, a winding river and bustling pubs with a cast of characters that could have stepped out of Hogarth or Shakespeare...
