Catalyst: "Not for Sale: The Return of the Global Slave Trade -- and How We Can Fight It" from HarperCollins Publishers, by David Batstone, 298 pages, paperback, c. 2007, $14.95
[Source: HarperCollins Publishers] Human trafficking generates $31 billion annually and enslaves 27 million people around the globe, half of them children under the age of 18. Award-winning journalist David Batstone, whom Bono calls "a heroic character," profiles the new generation of abolitionists who are leading the struggle to end this appalling epidemic.
"Human trafficking is not an issue of the left or right, blue states or red states, but a great moral tragedy we can unite to stop. Not for Sale is a must read to see how you can join the fight." -- Jim Wallis, author of God's Politics
