Kingsley explains who the refugees are, why they keep coming, and how they do it. He also talks about the smugglers who help them along the way, the coastguards who rescue them at the other end, the volunteers who feed them, the hoteliers that house them, the border guards who try to keep them out, and the politicians who look the other way. Based on interviews and encounters in 17 countries across three continents, he tells both of the Mediterranean crossing and the crossing of what aid workers call Libya's second sea--the sea of the Sahara--and then the onward march through Europe. The crisis will be here for a long time, he says, and he wants to document what happened during 2015 as a kind of benchmark. Annotation ©2017 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
