separated: inside an american tragedy book cover

“In June 2018, Donald Trump’s most notorious decision as president had secretly been in effect for months before most Americans became aware of the astonishing inhumanity being perpetrated by their own government. Jacob Soboroff was among the first journalists to expose this reality after seeing firsthand the living conditions of the children in custody.

But beyond the headlines, the complete, multilayered story lay untold. How, exactly, had such a humanitarian tragedy–now deemed “torture” by physicians–happened on American soil? Most important, what has been the human experience of those separated children and parents?

Soboroff has spent the past two years reporting the many strands of this complex narrative, developing sources from within the Trump administration who share critical details for the first time.”
