Human Trafficking: from 5000 BC to the 21st Century: 7,000 Years of Slavery, Rape, Greed (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781522978374)

Individuals, tribes, societies, religions, political groups-it doesn't matter how you slice us, since the earliest civilizations, we humans have always found ways to oppress others and prosper from our domination.

After forty years of working in journalism and publishing, author K. G. Richardson decided to turn an interest in history, sociology, and anthropology into a research project with reach: a book about the causes and contributing historical factors that gave rise to modern slavery and sex trafficking-and how good people can stand up to this horrendous evil in their every day lives.

Exploring the ancient and modern examples of the human drive to conquer and capitalize, Human Trafficking delves into well-known and little-known events and figures from history, explaining how they all contributed to the current climate of global enslavement.

Richardson isn't the sort of journalist who is content to merely describe the epidemic. Human Trafficking also provides actual practical steps for turning the tide against evil, helping good people fight back against global patterns of violence, sexual slavery, and greed.
