Two hun­dred years after Par­lia­ment passed the Abo­li­tion of the Slave Trade Act, over 27 mil­lion peo­ple world­wide lan­guish in slav­ery, forced to work, under threat of vio­lence, for no pay. In Africa, hun­dreds of thou­sands are con­sid­ered chat­tel, while on the Indi­an sub­con­ti­nent mil­lions lan­guish in gen­er­a­tional debt bondage. Across the globe, women and chil­dren, sold for sex and labour, are already the sec­ond most lucra­tive com­mod­i­ty for organ­ised crime.

Through evis­cer­at­ing nar­ra­tive, A Crime So Mon­strous paints a stark pic­ture of mod­ern slav­ery. Skin­ner infil­trates traf­fick­ing net­works and slave sales on four con­ti­nents, expos­ing a flesh trade nev­er before por­trayed with such vivid detail. From mega-harems in Khar­toum to illic­it broth­els in Bucharest, from slave quar­ries in India to urban child mar­kets in Haiti, he lays bare a par­al­lel uni­verse where lives are bought, sold, used and discarded.

The per­son­al sto­ries relat­ed here are heart­break­ing but in the midst of tragedy Skin­ner also dis­cov­ered a qui­et dig­ni­ty that leads some to resist and aspire to free­dom. He bears wit­ness for them and for the mil­lions that are held in the shad­ows — all vic­tims of what is the great­est human-rights chal­lenge fac­ing our generation.
