DESCRIPTION:
Aaron Cohen left behind his closest friends, his dying father, and the rock-star life for an unyielding one-man global pursuit. Cohen, posing as a sex tourist, slips into brothels, urged by madams to select from a lineup of girls as young as six. Once the best friend and business partner to Jane’s Addiction frontman Perry Farrell, Cohen now works alone, navigating the oppressive territory of pimps and drug lords from the shantytowns of Cambodia to the sweltering savannahs of Sudan. The flesh trade is the world’s fastest growing and most deadly illegal enterprise— even more profitable and easier to hide than guns, drugs, and precious gems. Sometimes he can save them from their captors, but more often than not, he must leave them behind, taking only the evidence he hopes will eventually lead to their rescue. At a time when more people than ever before are enslaved on this planet, Aaron Cohen found himself on a path of spiritual discovery that both transformed and endangered his life. In a remarkable, unprecedented exposé of the sinister trade, the rocker-turned-activist reveals the fast-paced, inspiring, and unforgettable story of a real-life slave hunter..

randommoe said Five Stars. Awesome book. Highly recommend you read it. Slave Hunter enlightens people about Sexual Slavery I was previously aware of Sexual Slavery but Aaron Cohen's book Slave Hunter opened my eyes even more. I commend Aaron for what he has done and enlightening people through this book. I now have a much keener understanding on this matter beginning with Slave Hunter and learning about an International president set by the Special Court for Sierra Leone on Sexual S. Aaron Cohen does what many Aaron Cohen does (not just preaches) what many don't have the guts to actually do (including myself). It was inspiring to see that every one of us can make a difference if we really want to. It is horrible to even imagine what people have gone though in order to survive. This book helps to remind me of how great we really have it here in the U.S.A. The only reas
