19 Books About Refugees That Everyone Should Read

"The Refugees" ($18, originally $25)

Viet Thanh Nguyen, 2016 Pulitzer Prize-winner and author of "The Sympathizer," wrote "The Refugees" over a period of 20 years. A collection of short stories, he's dedicated it to "all refugees, everywhere." Many of Nguyen's characters in the book were forced to flee Vietnam, as Nguyen was, though some have very different stories — like one American veteran who fought in Vietnam.
