Summary:
The deadly link between modern slavery and environmental destruction. The hellish gold mines of Ghana and the miraculously beautiful mangrove forests of Bangladesh. A look into the lives of modern day slaves and along the supply chain that leads directly to the cell phones in our pockets. Dramatic stories from the world's environmental and human rights hotspots. Kevin Bales is the author of Ending Slavery: How We Free Today's Slaves, and the co-founder and former president of Free the Slaves, the world's largest abolitionist organization.
