"Human trafficking is not an issue of the left or right, blue states or red states, but a great moral tragedy we can unite to stop . . . Not for Sale is a must-read to see how you can join the fight." --Jim Wallis, author of God's Politics
"David Batstone is a heroic character." --Bono
In the revised and updated version of this harrowing yet deeply inspirational expos , award-winning journalist David Batstone gives the most up-to-date information available on the $31 billion human trafficking epidemic.

Like Kevin Bales' Disposable People and Ending Slavery, or E. Benjamin Skinner's A Crime So Monstrous, Batstone's Not for Sale is an informative and necessary manifesto for universal freedom.
