About this product
Product Information
From sex slaves to drug mules, The Daily Beast's Rome Bureau Chief uncovers a terrifying and intricate web of criminal activity right on Europe's doorstep. Chasing the money from kidnapped Nigerian hair braiders to ISIS gunrunners, this is the story of modern slavery in Europe and how the plight of those most in need is being wilfully disregarded. Caught between Camorra arms dealers and Nigerian drug gangs along Italy's attractive coast, each year thousands of refugees and migrants are lured into their murky underworld. In this powerful exposé, investigative journalist Barbie Latza Nadeau follows the weapons trail, meets the sex-trafficked women trapped by black magic, the nuns who try to save them and the Italian police who turn a blind eye as the most urgent issues facing Europe play out in broad daylight.

'This is a terrifying and heartbreaking book... I will find it difficult, from now on, to contemplate today's world without thinking about what goes on in Castel Volturno.', 'A powerful exposé of organised crime along Italy's picturesque Amalfi Coast. The Daily Beast's Rome correspondent takes on gun runners, Nigerian gangs and wilfully negligent police as she chronicles the forced criminality of sex-trafficked women and drug mules - and the efforts of nuns to rescue them. Unnerving stuff.', " Roadmap to Hell is a crusading piece of journalism that exposes the human face of Italy's growing sex-slavery industry. Roadmap to Hell is a timely and devastating examination of the criminal underworld. Barbie Latza Nadeau's journalistic, snappy, and easy-to-digest work breaks down exactly how West African women are lured to Italy by Nigerian pimps and madams, who, in turn, work closely with Italian organized crime outfits like the Camorra and the Cosa Nostra.While there is no overarching narrative, Roadmap to Hell provides snapshots of the growing sex-trade industry in Italy. Its content is salacious. Nadeau follows and interviews dozens of Nigerian sex slaves, Italian journalists, and political figures, and at least one unembarrassed john who prowls the streets of Castel Volturno.Although she is a well-regarded journalist, Nadeau breaks with journalistic conventions at times, clearly favoring her immigrant subjects and openly admitting her revulsion for the customers who keep the sex trade going. Nadeau's center-left opinions do not stop her from admitting that right-wing parties in Europe have a point when they argue that open-borders-style immigration policies have led to an uptick in crime, demographic problems, and a growing relationship between organized crime and jihadist terrorism.The book shows how Italy's endemic corruption and its two-faced reaction to the migrant crisis are causing a flowering of Nigerian crime in Italy's already impoverished and crime-ridden south. It does not broach the overriding question of whether or not immigrants have a "right" to migrate anywhere. While she admits that many Nigerians are economic immigrants, Nadeau seems to believe that Italy's monoculture can do more to integrate the thousands of Nigerians who arrive on the shores of Sicily and southern Italy every month. Roadmap to Hell is a crusading piece of journalism that exposes the human face of Italy's growing sex-slavery industry. This is a heart-wrenching volume that nevertheless manages to be clear-eyed about the nature of drug addiction, superstition, and illicit practices.", 'The sex-trafficking of tens of thousands of Nigerian young women to Italy is a shamefully under-reported story that disgraces the authorities in both those countries. Barbie Latza Nadeau reveals the dirty truth with flair, forensic insight, and, above all, great empathy for the victims of this trade... Her tale of suffering and injustice in Italy is an uncomfortable but vital read.', 'A crusading piece of journalism that exposes the human face of Italy's growing sex-slavery industry. Roadmap to Hell is a timely and devastating examination of the criminal underworld. Barbie Latza Nadeau's journalistic, snappy, and easy-to-digest work breaks down exactly how West African women are lured to Italy.', 'The book, built on interviews with many participants, is well-reported and consistently heartbreaking...Nadeau's book makes for a useful work of advocacy, calling attention to a terrible traffic in human misery.', 'Barbie Latza Nadeau uncovers a web of criminal activity in Italy, involving thousands of refugees and migrants who are lured into the underworld and forced to become sex slaves, drug mules, or weapon smugglers.', 'Darker than Helene Stapinski's Murder in Matera , this timely and troubling exposé should appeal to a similar audience willing to embrace an unromanticized view of Italian life.', of course; one group that gets unfortunately short shrift is the legion of migrants and refugees who have arrived in the country over the past ten years, especially the women, many of whom come to Italy as unwitting participants in the sex trade (of 11,000 Nigerian women who arrived in Italy in 2016, around 9,000 were trafficked specifically for sexual slavery in Italy and beyond, writes Barbie Latza Nadeau, Rome bureau chief for the Daily Beast, in her new book, Roadmap to Hell: Sex, Drugs and Guns on the Mafia Coast)., 'I read the book in one horrified gulp...a profound, appalling portrait of a country overwhelmed by crime, and which somehow managed to keep a focus on the human victims and the geopolitical forces at play.', 'Barbie Latza Nadeau dissects the intricate relationship between those who make a living from organized crime, terrorism and sex trafficking with an astute understanding of the Italian culture that allows it to prosper.', 'Darker than Helene Stapinski's Murder in Matera, this timely and troubling exposé should appeal to a similar audience willing to embrace an unromanticized view of Italian life.', Journalistic account of the sex trade that runs from the west coast of Africa to the southern coast of Italy and beyond. American journalist Nadeau, author of an earlier account of the Italian trial of American murder suspect Amanda Knox (Angel Face, 2010), turns her attention to the Camorra, or Calabrian Mafia, and their engagements with the drug and arms trades, which in turn net them human cargo: young women from Nigeria and other African countries, recruited at home and promised livelihoods in Europe, then smuggled into Italy on overcrowded, easily shipwrecked boats. Reports Nadeau, "in 2016, eleven thousand Nigerian women and girls arrived in Italy on those boats." There they were collected and put to work in the mob-controlled prostitution industry, with no way out. It does not help that Nigerian women can claim asylum easily by saying that they are threatened by Boko Haram, nor that the immigration authorities "may even know that [a woman] is being trafficked and forced to sell sex against her will, but they still look away." Church-based and other nongovernmental agencies have stepped in but have been overwhelmed so that few women are intercepted as they land and can be guided into applying for safe asylum away from Camorra control. "They have to work fast," writes the author, "because the traffickers are waiting in the refugee camps to ferry the girls to their madams, often within the first week of their arrival." The book, built on interviews with many participants, is well-reported and consistently heartbreaking yet occasionally repetitive. Moreover, the author drops threads only to pick them up later, slowed by too much attention to minor detail ("Some men stop on motorcycles. The teenage boys who stop are invariably riding mopeds"). Though sometimes a chore to read, Nadeau's book makes for a useful work of advocacy, calling attention to a terrible traffic in human misery., The book, built on interviews with many participants, is well-reported and consistently heartbreaking.... a useful work of advocacy, calling attention to a terrible traffic in human misery.
