Escaping Wars and Waves: Encounters with Syrian Refugees
by Oliver Kugler
(Myriad £19.99)
AN ILLUSTRATED reportage documenting the fate of disparate and scattered Syrian refugees between 2013-16, Oliver Kugler's Escaping Wars and Waves reflects on the internecine conflict instigated by the West along the Libya and Ukraine “regime change”strategies to remove President Bashar al-Assad from power.
In consequence, millions of Syrians were displaced internally and beyond their country's borders.
At different times, Kugler went to the Domino camp for the displaced in Iraq, the Greek island of Kos, the “Jungle” squatter camp in Calais, resettled refugees in Birmingham and a family of refugees living temporarily close to his parents in his home town of Simmozheim in Germany’s Black Forest.
