This book shows some of the awful truth about the exploitation of foreign workers. Even knowing beforehand what it was about, some of the descriptions of the harsh situation in the services industry really shocked me. The author does not hide his feelings for the thugs he caught. But there is really no good side of this story. Worth reading.
