My Fourth Time, We Drowned

Sally Hayden’s My Fourth Time, We Drowned is a searing work of investigative journalism that documents the plight of refugees and migrants trapped in the Libyan detention system. Based on first-hand testimonies and relentless reporting, Hayden reveals the scale of suffering and the complicity of international powers. The book is both a cry of outrage and a testament to human resilience. Hayden refuses to look away, and she compels the reader not to either. It’s journalism at its most courageous, giving voice to those too often silenced by politics and indifference.
