All shout out the need for more international attention, investigation, and accountability." -Congressman Chris Smith, co-chair, Congressional-Executive Commission on China "If the international community hasnt been moved to action yet, Gutmanns book just might do the trick."-Before Its News "Think hard, and consider "The Slaughter" by Ethan Gutmann.

And that is a tragedy." --Chen Guangcheng, Chinese civil rights activist , "I could not help thinking of [the Holocaust] as I read The Slaughter . I could not help thinking of it as I looked at (or looked away from) the book's pictures. "These are Nazis," I thought. "This is Mengele.".... [Gutmann] has written a noble book. He has not frittered away his days; he has used them for an important purpose. In a post-Communist China, there should be a statue or two of him. He is one of the worst enemies the Chinese government has, because his weapon is the truth, and the itch to find it. He is also a colossal pain to people who want to transact business with China in blissful ignorance. He does the work of a thousand journalists who would rather do anything than look deep into the PRC." --Jay Nordlinger, National Review " The Slaughter is gripping, horrifying, infuriating--and utterly compelling. If you care about China, if you care about human rights, if you care about human dignity . . . read this book." --William Kristol, editor, Weekly Standard "A shocking account filled with detailed personal research, carefully weighed, of a horrifying and gruesome aspect of China's economic boom. Ethan Gutmann reveals how the organ-harvesting business symbiotically developed out of the fierce retribution meted out to the Chinese Communist Party's enemies--Uyghurs, Tibetans, and above all Falun Gong practitioners. He explains how the organ harvesting of executed prisoners has helped make the China gulag profitable." --Jasper Becker, author of Hungry Ghosts: Mao's Secret Famine "Drawing on extensive interviews and patient compilation of numbers, names, places, and dates, Ethan Gutmann reports China's shocking persecution of prisoners of conscience, including torture in prisons and labor camps and organ harvesting for profit. Some chapters make for gruesome reading. All shout out the need for more international attention, investigation, and accountability." --Congressman Chris Smith, chairman of the Africa, Global Health, Global Human Rights, and International Organization Subcommittee "This book will be banned in China. And that is a tragedy." --Chen Guangcheng, Chinese civil rights activist , On Losing the New China : "You won't be able to put it down...[Y]ou'll think about its implications long after you've finished this fine book." - William Kristol, Weekly Standard "Every once in a while comes a book to stir your slumber, and this is one." - Jay Nordlinger, National Review

SynopsisThe inside story of China's organtransplant business and its macabre connection with internment camps and killing fields for arrested dissidents, especially the adherents of Falun Gong.Mass murder is alive and well. That is the stark conclusion of this comprehensive investigation into the Chinese state's secret program to get rid of political dissidents while profiting from the sale of their organs--in many cases to Western recipients. Based on interviews with top-ranking police officials and Chinese doctors who have killed prisoners on the operating table, veteran China analyst Ethan Gutmann has produced a riveting insider's account--culminating in a death toll that will shock the world. Why would the Chinese leadership encourage such a dangerous perversion of their medical system? To solve the puzzle, Gutmann journeyed deep into the dissident archipelago of Falun Gong, Tibetans, Uighurs and House Christians, uncovering an ageless drama of resistance, eliciting confessions of deep betrayal and moments of ecstatic redemption. In an age of compassion fatigue, Gutmann relies on one simple truth: those who have made it back from the gates of hell have stories to tell. And no matter what baggage the reader may bring along, their preconceptions of China will not survive the trip., Mass murder is alive and well.
