Ben Skinner, A Crime So Monstrous. Ben is a journalist who traveled the world to document slavery, meeting slaves, slaveholders, traffickers and liberators. His book is a thought-provoking and deeply moving investigation of slavery today, and an in-depth look at the United States’ response to this global problem.

Kevin has researched slavery for over 13 years and has written extensively on the subject, including Pulitzer Prize nominated Disposable People in 1999. In this book, he outlines the first comprehensive plan for ending slavery, Forever!
