"America Alone: The End of the World as We Know It" (ISBN 0-89526-078-6) is a "New York Times" bestselling nonfiction book by Mark Steyn, published in 2006. It has been widely praised by conservative commentators, and recommended by George W. Bush. [cite news

] It has also been reviewed, mostly with praise, by Christopher Hitchens who described it as an "admirably tough-minded book". [http://www.city-journal.org/html/17_1_urbanities-steyn.html]

Hitchens goes on in his review and states:

"Mark Steyn’s book is essentially a challenge to the "bien-pensants" among us: an insistence that we recognize an extraordinary threat and thus the possible need for extraordinary responses. He need not pose as if he were the only one with the courage to think in this way."

The paperback edition (ISBN 1596985275), released in April 2008 with a new introduction, is labeled "Soon to Be Banned in Canada", reflecting Steyn's expectations of the cases he faces in the Canadian Human Rights Commission and the HRCs of Alberta and British Columbia.Fact|date=July 2008
