Reviews
'The authors leap around, with vivid reporting from Niger, Libya, the Balkans, Turkey and Egypt, among other places ... The book's key contention that tighter rules inspire entrepreneurs to create new, more dangerous and criminal smuggling routes is persuasive.' -- The Economist; 'Migrant, Refugee, Smuggler, Saviour argues that the world needs to understand how networks of traffickers function if it is to get to grips with this migration crisis. Co-authors Tinti and Reitano ... use a mixture of reportage, first-hand accounts from migrants and extensive research to uncover a series of complex transnational industries that exist to help migrants bypass barriers whether geographic, man-made or political for a profit.' --Financial Times; 'This is a fascinating, nuanced and highly necessary account of an underworld that is much discussed but little understood, written by two of the leading experts in the field. I highly recommend it.' --Patrick Kingsley, The Guardian; 'Powerful analysis, groundbreaking research, vividly and journalistically expressed. This is a must-read for policy makers and anyone who wants a more truthful approach to a defining story of our age.' --New Internationalist
