The idea for 'Time to Emigrate?' first came about when one of George Walden's sons asked him whether he should emigrate. He set about writing down a few of his thoughts in a letter. The notes grew and grew. When Walden discovered that many of his son's generation were considering the same question he decided to use his notes for a book. This is an exceptionally provocative book that will be furiously debated in the media as he attacks the onslaught of multiculturalism. Includes a new chapter by George Walden to bring the phenomenon up to date. 2 rev ed. Paperback, 266 pages. Size: 178 x 126 mm. Weight: 176g.
