The Sally Haydens book, My Third Time We Drowned is one of the more heartbreaking books that's available for a human to read. But like if you want to know about the [ __ ] up stuff Europe's doing in Libya, uh it's a good book.
Sally Hayden has an excellent book called My Fourth Time We Drowned that like one of the things I like about it is it explains like her journalistic process and it's people who are detained in places where they can't get out clubbing together to get one message out on the one phone that one person smuggled in in parts.
Why people recommend it
My Fourth Time, We Drowned by Sally Hayden is a deeply harrowing investigative work documenting the brutal realities faced by refugees and migrants detained in Libya. On Behind the Bastards, Robert Evans recommended the book as one of the most heartbreaking texts available for readers wanting to understand the troubling policies and actions executed by Europe in the region. Andrew Sage and another host similarly praised the work across different episodes of the podcast, emphasizing its value for learning about the plight of migrants and the typical operations of United Nations workers. The host also commended the author's journalistic process, pointing out how the book vividly captures how detained individuals manage to pool their meager resources and coordinate through a single shared phone to broadcast their stories to the outside world. Through these discussions, the podcast contributors underscored the book's vital importance in exposing severe humanitarian crises.
