Slave Hunter

Book excerpt: This volume examines the ugly truth behind the human flesh trade, told from the front lines of brothels and war zones around the world. The author shares his struggle to understand both himself and the darkest parts of humanity. He exposes the lies and corruption of mafia-driven cultures who view women and children as exploitable commodities. Readers see the positions of government officials, human rights activists, and non-governmental organizations, often with conflicting perspectives that produce more questions than answers. With tenderness, we hear the heart-breaking stories of vulnerable women and children forever changed by slave employment and prostitution, and the struggles they continue to face once freed. Also, we learn how the author's struggle with drugs, depression and grief ultimately led him from the darkness to the light.
