He is also the son of second world war refugees. His joins us to discuss his new book Rescue: Refugees and the Political Crisis of our Time (Simon & Schuster), which is a call to action that takes us from war zones in the Middle East to the heart of Europe to explain the global refugee crisis and offers practical advice on what can be done, not just by governments with the power to change policy, but by citizens with the urge to change lives. Join him for an unmissable event.
