Horatio Clare – We Came By Sea – Stories of a Greater Britain

Written with his trademark compassion and humanity, Horatio Clare’s We Came by Sea is an untold story of the small boats crisis – a story which shows the best of us. It is the story of the volunteers who help thousands of refugees in Calais, of the lifeboat crews mounting one of the great search and rescue operations of all time, of an unrecognised, uncelebrated, all but unknown, Britain, giving its all to help the vulnerable and desperate. This journey through an unexamined nation, a nation which is as truly great and good as the people in the dinghies believe Britain to be, is not the story we have been told, but it is a true story.
