A long list of the refugees who died on their journey to Europe starts off filling the cover, continues through flyleaf all the way into the pages. The tightly typeset list is shockingly long. This book gives voice to those refugees through the rescue professionals of the Mediterranean, and the sparse minimalism in both the design and the photography is respectful.
