Summary One hour on the Berlin turnpike; that's really all it takes. It waits for you at the heart of America's wealthiest state. And if you look closely, over two centuries of our nation's history and culture--the very best and worst of who we are and who we have been--remain ensconced along this 12-mile stretch of concrete and thousands of corridors like it, both real and virtual, across the United States and its cyber-cousin, the Internet. Yet, few recognize the dire urgency of a social phenomenon that has been prevalent along all the highways of America for nearly two centuries. This is a true story of human trafficking in America, its history, its growth, and its unprecedented entrance into our homes. It exposes every element of this crime; so reliant on secrecy and shrouded behind a scintillating veil of growing legitimacy. Yet it is buried just below the surface of our society's mainstream perception. For the first time The Berlin Turnpike takes you to the core of how and where this all takes place. This is our path to uncovering a vast, long-ignored secret. -- Cover p. [4].
