Blood Ivory: My Fight to Save the World's Most Endangered Animals (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798896364061)

An unflinching memoir of survival and purpose that tells one woman's battle from inside and outside modern China to thwart the forces of greed that threaten the extermination of earth's every last wild bear, tiger, rhino, and elephant.

When Grace Ge Gabriel, a Chinese-born American TV news editor, goes undercover in Shanghai to buy wild animal parts, she is armed with a hidden camera and a history she thinks she's left behind. Raised during China's Cultural Revolution, she understands what it means to be voiceless. Now, she is returning to her homeland to fight for those who cannot speak for themselves.

Blood Ivory is an unprecedented insider's account of a global war for animals' lives, fought in the era of China's dramatic rise to superpower status. Traversing onto the Roof of the World, down the flooded Yangtze River, and into UN conference halls and a jury-less Beijing courtroom, Gabriel confronts the brutal intersections of greed, corruption, cultural tradition, and geopolitical intrigue with passion and determination. Hers is a story of impossible odds and unexpected allies, of heroic sacrifice and game-changing victories--a powerful account that blends a deeply personal tale of transformation with the high-stakes global fight to save the planet's most vulnerable creatures.
