Recommend some books on white/modern-day slavery

Nonfiction or fiction, historical or current event. Until an off-handed comment by a professor about a month ago, I had no idea that white slavery was practiced in the Middle East or Africa several hundred years ago. A news article today about the US claiming some Arab countries, among others, aren’t doing enough to combat human trafficking reminded me to start this thread, and then I realized I don’t really know much about modern-day slavery either. As an historian-in-training, I think my lack of knowledge on this is quite pitiful.

What are some of the good books out there on these topics?

Random - from the sound of the article, the book must be very good indeed. I will also be getting that one!

I hope I can find a library nearby that has these!
