Adam Golob has written a timely and important book. By focusing on the myriad of reasons why so many citizens of Central America have made the dangerous trek north in the last ten years he has made an important contribution to our understanding of these difficult issues. This book should be read by every US government official with the responsibility to address this human tragedy.

This important work provides new material and meaningful insights about the trafficking of human beings and especially how gangs in the Northern Triangle of Central America control, intimidate and use the people they find, and how they subject them to new forms of human exploitation. It gives and explains new definitions and approaches to human trafficking in Central America…and graphically explains the suffering that so many undergo. It also explores the conditions that compel tens of thousands to flee their homes and risk life and limb to come to the United States. This well documented study provides ample facts and personal stories to make the horrors of such treatment come alive for the reader and is highly recommended.

Golob challenges his readers to look at forced recruitment from a new and more companionate angle. This work is insightful and informative, a must-read for immigration attorneys in the asylum field.
