Heartbreaking and awakening
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Should be a mandatory book for any current events course in college. The problem of human slavery is overlooked by schools and the media, and this book sheds light on a tragedy of enormous proportion. Woman, Child for Sale also reports on the countries that are the biggest violators of this human rights crisis and presents possible solutions. I was swept away by the depth of this problem and found this book very useful and informative.
Insightful.

This book is one of half a dozen books that I bought last week. I have had difficulty putting this book down, as it is insightful, gripping,and utterly heart-wrenching. It explores a topic that many people choose to ignore in today's blind society, and it ought to be read by intellectuals world-wide.
