Hanging Captain Gordon

The Life and Trial of an American Slave Trader

By: Ron Soodalter

On a frosty day in February 1862, hundreds gathered to watch the execution of Nathaniel Gordon. Two years earlier, Gordon had taken Africans in chains from the Congo -- a hanging offense for more than forty years that no one had ever enforced. But with the country embroiled in a civil war and Abraham Lincoln at the helm, a sea change was taking place. Gordon, in the wrong place at the wrong time, got caught up in the wave. For the first time, Hanging Captain Gordon chronicles the trial and execution of the only man in history to face conviction for slave trading -- exploring the many compelling issues and circumstances that led to one man paying the price for a crime committed by many. Filled with sharply drawn characters, Soodalter's vivid account sheds light on one of the more shameful aspects of our history and provides a link to similar crimes against humanity still practiced today.

The Slave Next Door

Human Trafficking and Slavery in America Today

By: Kevin Bales,Ron Soodalter

In this riveting book, authors and authorities on modern day slavery Kevin Bales and Ron Soodalter expose the disturbing phenomenon of human trafficking and slavery that exists now in the United States. In The Slave Next Door we find that slaves are all around us, hidden in plain sight: the dishwasher in the kitchen of the neighborhood restaurant, the kids on the corner selling cheap trinkets, the man sweeping the floor of the local department store. In these pages we also meet some unexpected slaveholders, such as a 27-year old middle-class Texas housewife who is currently serving a life sentence for offences including slavery. Weaving together a wealth of voices—from slaves, slaveholders, and traffickers as well as from experts, counselors, law enforcement officers, rescue and support groups, and others—this book is also a call to action, telling what we, as private citizens, can do to finally bring an end to this horrific crime.

Civilization at Risk

Seeds of Strife (Second Edition)

By: Ron D. Petitte

A devastating human rights war has unfolded, with precious few warriors to combat it, let alone stem the brutal injustice that is of Holocaust dimensions. If there is any scourge that puts Civilization at Risk, it is the malignant disregard for the human rights of millions of people, who suffer slavery and inhumane treatment, at the hands of fellow human beings. With 30 million people in slavery, today, 30 million Seeds of Strife have been sown, as the souls of these victims are seared beyond human recognition. Human Trafficking cannot be combated by indifference or ignorance, but by the education of people worldwide, to awaken them to this 21st Century scourge, as well as by instilling in people across the globe, the courage and determination to stand and fight this evil. Civilization at Risk: Seeds of Strife (Second Edition) offers an immediate call to arms, to fight the evil that the human slaver wages, against any attempt to create a just and benevolent civilization. As the pen is mightier than the sword, so, too, this book cuts to the quick, to confront and dispel any efforts to mitigate the horrors of the 21st Century Holocaust that is Human Trafficking.
