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
treatment of refugees has become one of the most devastating human
rights disasters in our history. In this book, award-winning
journalist Sally Hayden unfolds a staggering investigation into the
migrant crisis across North Africa. This book follows the
experiences of refugees, telling a range of shocking and
eye-opening human stories. 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.
