WINNER OF THE ORWELL PRIZE WINNER OF IRISH BOOK OF THE YEAR
SHORTLISTED FOR THE BAILLIE GIFFORD PRIZE 'The most important work
of contemporary reporting I have ever read' SALLY ROONEY The
Western world has turned its back on refugees, fuelling one of the
most devastating human rights disasters in history. In August 2018,
Sally Hayden received a Facebook message. 'Hi sister Sally, we need
your help,' it read. 'We are under bad condition in Libya prison.
If you have time, I will tell you all the story.' More messages
followed from more refugees. They told stories of enslavement and
trafficking, torture and murder, tuberculosis and sexual abuse. And
they revealed something else: that they were all incarcerated as a
direct result of European policy. From there began a staggering
investigation into the migrant crisis across North Africa. This
book follows the shocking experiences of refugees seeking
sanctuary, but it also surveys the bigger picture: the negligence
of NGOs and corruption within the United Nations. The economics of
the twenty-first-century slave trade and the EU's bankrolling of
Libyan militias. The trials of people smugglers, the frustrations
of aid workers, the loopholes refugees seek out and the role of
social media in crowdfunding ransoms. Who was accountable for the
abuse? Where were the people finding solutions? Why wasn't it being
widely reported? At its heart, this is a book about people who have
made unimaginable choices, risking everything to survive in a
system that wants them to be silent and disappear.
