Author: Skinner, E Benjamin

There are more slaves in the world today than at any time in history. After spending four years visiting a dozen countries where slavery flourishes, infiltrating human trafficking networks and slave sales on five continents, Skinner exposes a modern flesh trade never before portrayed in such proximity. In gripping narrative style, he introduces us to people who live in slavery, those who have escaped from bondage, those who own or traffic in slaves, and those who seek to combat the crime - with mixed political motives. 288 pp. March.
