In 2006, Murray published a defence of neoconservatism "" and went on a speaking tour promoting the book in the United States. The publication was subsequently reviewed in the Arab journal "Asharq Al-Awsat" by the Iranian author Amir Taheri: "Whether one agrees with him or not Murray has made a valuable contribution to the global battle of ideas." In 2007, he assisted in the writing of "Towards a Grand Strategy for an Uncertain World: Renewing Transatlantic Partnership" by Gen. Dr. Klaus Naumann, Gen. John Shalikashvili, Field Marshal The Lord Inge, Adm. Jacques Lanxade, and Gen. Henk van den Breemen.
