Thousands of people die preventable deaths at Europe’s borders every year. And the situation keeps getting worse. From eastern Polish forest swamps to the Mediterranean and Aegean Seas to the corridors of power, Along the Watchtower describes how Europe’s war on migration has spun out of control. Through the stories of people seeking safety and the humanitarians who assist them, a portrait of a vast machine of slander, surveillance, violence, and criminalisation emerges — one that has spilled over from targeting migrants to putting us all at risk. States and profiteers have transformed the liberal Utopia, imagined by proponents of a bigger Europe, into an armed fortress willing to tear up the rights and values it once espoused. As climate breakdown, geopolitical shifts, and economic and political crises drive both a movement and a backlash against it, Along the Watchtower asks how we got here — and how we might demand a different world before it’s too late.
