Description
The migrant crisis across North Africa is a devastating humanitarian crisis that has left many without hope. Reporter Sally Hayden's story begins with a message on Facebook from an Eritrean refugee held in a Libyan detention center, locked in a hall with hundreds of others. This message sets her on a journey to uncover the truth behind the migrant crisis, based on interviews with hundreds of refugees and migrants who tried to reach Europe and found themselves stuck in Libya. Hayden's book is a groundbreaking work of investigative journalism, shedding light on the human rights disaster that has unfolded in Libya. With unprecedented access to people currently inside detention centers, she provides an intimate portrait of life for those detainees, as well as a condemnation of NGOs and the United Nations for their role in the crisis. A powerful and thought-provoking account, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in human rights and international politics.
