It’s a five-hour trip from Benjamin Skinner’s apartment in Brooklyn to a place where human beings are sold.
Skinner isn’t in the business of human trafficking. He’s a journalist who has traveled the globe, often undercover, to investigate modern-day slavery. During his work, he witnessed the buying and selling of people on four continents. His recent book, A Crime So Monstrous: Face-to-Face with Modern-Day Slavery (Simon & Schuster, 2008), has won critical acclaim.
