A very honest, well researched and comprehensive work by a true journalist. Victor Malarek shows the truth behind the sex industry and its need to replenish its supply by forcing innocent young women into sexual bondage and forced prostitution. He reaches inside the heart of the issue and opens your heart to the plight of so many victims. He also shows how this trade in human beings is growing, and how the demand is being fuelled by our armed forces, and their need for cheap, available sex, at the expense of these women and girls (many as young a 12). How many of those left in charge of upholding international law, turned a blind eye, and in some cases participated in violating the very laws they were send to uphold. An amazingly well written, and truly honest account of a billion dollar industry, and the unfortunate victims trapped in it.
An honest and sincere portrait of the life of a woman who was tricked into leaving her country for a job, only to find herself forced into sexual bondage. If you think it couldn't happen to someone you love, you should read this book. Sex trafficking has become an epidemic, feeding billions of dollars into organized crime. Her courage in writing her story was both courageous and enlightening. Amsterdams red light district is not just a place of prostitution, but a front for sex slavery of innocent young women.
Victor Malarek sheds a very bright light on sex trafficking and the Johns who provide the reasons for it. It is about supply and demand and Victors work is detailed and enlightening. I came away after reading "The Johns" with a clearer understanding of not only the problem, but also about why I needed to educate myself about the tragic truth of the sex industry and the many victims trapped in it. If you care about human rights, and you are willing to walk into the shadows to see the darker side, you will be rewarded with a far greater understanding of this important issue. A work that removes many of myths associated with these men, and who they are, what they think, and the industry they feed.
