Title: As The Parent of a Daughter ....
Review: This is an astounding book. We have all seen 'ladies of the evening' and with a certain sadness we see them as victuums 'doing what they have to do.' This book discusses instead the white slavery market that has developed with the collapse of the Soviet Union. I can't think of any better way to describe the situation than the blurb on the back cover: "You can buy a woman for $10,000 and you can make your money back in a week if she is pretty and she is yound. Then everything else is profit."The book is written by a multiple award winning Canadian investigative journalist. He reports on numerous incidents, numerous interviews with the people involved. This includes the women themselves, the organizers, the police, and various international relief agencies that are addressing the problem.For those of us who are parents of daughters this is a most disturbing book.
Is the review positive or negative?
