Interested in Human Trafficking? - Then read this book.,
By
This review is from: Selling Olga: Stories of Human Trafficking and Resistance (Phoenix Paperback Series) (Paperback)
If you are interested in Human Trafficking issues, then I recommend this book to read. I am very interested and have read a few books on this subject and have found this one to be one of the best. Easy to read and follow the stories, though I won't say it is a pleasant read. You really find you can imagine meeting the people for yourself.

good!,
By
This review is from: Selling Olga: Stories of Human Trafficking and Resistance (Phoenix Paperback Series) (Paperback)
It concentrates mostly on eastern europe and the UK but also has chapters on asian cases and african cases of trafficking to the UK. This is the first book I've read on trafficking and i found it very interesting and liked the writing style. It's told in first person and follows the author as she discovers about trafficking and interviews numerous people involved including victims and those who are trying to combat it in various ways. The author importantly notes that although its sex trafficking that gets the headlines there are other types of trafficking.

"The Whistleblower" book,
By Ms P. Bunce "teacher" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Selling Olga: Stories of Human Trafficking and Resistance (Phoenix Paperback Series) (Paperback)
Reveals the scandalous involvement of UN "peace keepers" in the trading of women during the Bosnia conflict. It probably influenced the film-makers of "The Whistleblower" (a great film, largely true, about this practice).
