The event caused massive, international outrage. Using the hashtag \"Bring Back Our Girls,\" politicians, activists, and celebrities from all around the world--among them First Lady Michelle Obama and Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai--protested. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSome of the girls were able to escape and award-winning journalist Wolfgang Bauer spent several weeks with them as they recounted their ordeal. In \u003ci\u003eStolen Girls\u003c\/i\u003e, he gives voice to these girls, allowing them to speak for themselves--about their lives before the abduction, about the horrors during their captivity, and their dreams of a better future. Bauer's reportage is complemented by over a dozen stunning portraits by award-winning photographer Andy Spyra. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBauer also examines the historical and political background of the Islamist terror in the heart of Africa, showing how Boko Haram works and describing the damage it has done to the fragile balance of ethnicities and cultures in one of the world's most diverse regions. His book tells a story of violence, fear, and uncertainty; it is also a story of hope, strength, and courage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wolfgang Bauer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1620972573\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781620972571\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/11\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.60w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2017","brand":"Wolfgang Bauer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43979411030271,"sku":"9781620972571","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_38774253-f899-4642-b7a7-8a9eef9b32dd.jpg?v=1683245392","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/stolen-girls-wolfgang-bauer-9781620972571","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
