Description
Rats and Squealers investigates the people who have betrayed their friends and colleagues, their brothers in arms, in order to save their own skins, sometimes forfeiting their very identity as a consequence. Their stories are some of the most incredible you will ever hear. Stories of sacrifice and of indulgence of bravery and cowardice and ... of lies, lies and more lies. This is the existence of a modern-day snitch. Enter this world at your own risk.
