About this audiobook
Italy has borne the brunt of Europe's migration crisis as 200,000 people have landed on the nation's shores after making the perilous crossing. Now a right-wing government wants to stop the human tide, banning nonprofit search-and-rescue ships. Special correspondent Malcolm Brabant reports from Sicily.
