# Crossing the Sea: With Syrians on the Exodus to Europe - Hardcover

by **Wolfgang Bauer** (Author), **Stanislav Krupar** (Photographer)

Placing himself at the mercy of Egyptian smuggler gangs in Alexandria and at sea, journalist Wolfgang Bauer went undercover to document first-hand the flight of Syrian refugees crossing the Mediterranean. Their book, the first of its kind, is an incisive portrait both of the lives behind the crisis and the systemic problems that constitute it.
