In “No Place On Earth” photographer Patrick Brown documents the world’s fastest growing refugee crisis and one of the most rapid human outflows in recent history.

Risking death at sea or on foot, more than 700,000 Rohingya fled the destruction of their homes and persecution in the northern Rakhine State of Myanmar for neighboring Bangladesh.

Arriving at the makeshift camps, most refugees reported harrowingly consistent stories of murder and rape, all of which testify to a deliberate campaign of eradication.

The hardcover book “No Place On Earth” contains 98 color photographs with associated texts by Jason Motlagh, Peter Bouckaert and introduction by Matthew Smith, director of Fortify Rights and the design by the renowned book designer Stuart Smith.
