"This well-researched study offers new and exclusive insight into how key diplomatic decisions were reached during Europe's migration crisis. Despite the historic complexity of the Continent's internal and external politics, the author succeeds in presenting a clear and accurate picture of the European situation, at a time when policy-makers (and indeed European publics) are seeking real answers to the ongoing crisis." -- Carl Schiotz Wibye, Former Norwegian Ambassador to Saudi Arabia and Macedonia; former Charge d'affaires to Iran "In this thoughtful and very well researched volume, Chris Deliso illuminates the full scale of the crisis developing through the current mass migration movements into Southeastern Europe, with particularly clear emphasis on the security implications often overlooked by EU governments. It can be wholeheartedly recommended to all students of EU migrant policy, security studies, international law enforcement officers, and humanitarian organizations." -- James Pettifer, Professor of History, Oxford University "A must-read for anyone who thinks the migration crisis in Europe is over or may be resolved any time soon. Deliso makes clear that the EU's reaction so far has worsened the realities faced by everyone, the migrants, the Union's own people and governments, and the Balkans states and Turkey that Brussels and Berlin have left hanging." -- Gerard M. Gallucci, PhD, Former UN Regional Representative for North Kosovo; U.S. Senior Foreign Service, Retired "Deliso takes readers on a dark but fascinating journey into the perilous world of the European migration crisis. This is a masterly synthesis of political, social, and economic history." -- Dr. Panos Sophoulis, Assistant Professor of Eastern European History, National & Kapodistrian University of Athens
