Join us for a conversation with Nathan Akehurst, author of "Along the Watchtower: Dispatches from Europe's War on Migration" (Zer0 Books, 2026).ABOUT THE BOOK:
Europe’s war on migration is everywhere. This book unearths the forces behind it and how they’ve reshaped our society.
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.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

After working in British politics he left the UK to study international development, and focused on US and European border militarisation, climate change, and geopolitics.
