Overview

The evil that permeates sex trafficking is not going to stop; but, it can be discouraged and abated and people's lives spared the incalculable damage such evil inflicts. Regardless, the scourge will continue, and tomorrow's press will detail more tragedy for the victims of human trafficking. All of the author's proceeds, for the writing of this book, go directly to the Justice and Mercy Initiative at Bryan College to fight human trafficking.

An anthology of vignettes, contemplations, and proposed reforms to combat the social ills of rape and human trafficking, Civilization at Risk is thoughtful, serious-minded, and an open call to change cultural tolerance of heinous acts. Highly recommended, as is the previous volume in the series, 'Civilization at Risk: Seeds of Strife'. Midwest Book Review, Volume 16:2 (February 2017) In his second book, in this critically important series, Ron Petitte has taken Civilization at Risk: Seeds of Strife to the next level, as he resolutely presents Civilization at Risk: Seeds of War. He effectively argues that, 'because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold.' Tragically, this is the very situation and response all too many victims of human trafficking face in today's world. This book is a must-read, if we are to stem, let alone combat, the evil that is human trafficking. Detective Inspector Steve Wilkinson (Retired) New Scotland Yard Human Trafficking Team and Expert Consultant for the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (ODC) Dr Ron D. Petitte has developed a series of core premises to frame and present the inexplicable evil manifest in human trafficking. Dealing with a subject matter as dark and aberrant as trafficking in people, the author offers glimpses of promise in this herculean war through a set of uplifting accounts aptly described as 'seeds of hope.' I commend his Civilization at Risk series, to include Seeds of Strife and, now, Seeds of War, to all who seriously intend to make a difference in today's world.
