About the author
Bruce Ladebu
An adventurer who had been everywhere and seen everything, Bruce founded the Children's Rescue Initiative after a single moment in a Pakistani factory broke him and remade him. He has spent the years since leading covert teams into brick kilns, rope factories, and traffickers' safe houses across western Asia.
He did not stand for his legacy. He stood for the field.
Bruce Ladebu, The Shammah Code
