On the Moore Prize shortlist for Human Rights Writing, No Escape is "an important testimony to one of the greatest humanitarian outrages of our time" (Irish Times). The People's Republic of China has rounded up as many as three million Uyghurs into "reeducation camps," facilities most of the world identifies as concentration camps. There, the enslavement of the Uyghur people is ongoing. Their tactics are reminiscent of the Cultural Revolution, but the results are far more insidious. In the words of Turkel, "Communist China has created an open prison-like environment through the most intrusive surveillance state that the world has ever known while committing genocide and enslaving the Uyghurs on the world's watch." "An important, harrowing overview of the ongoing human rights crisis in Xinjiang, China." -Library Journal "Powerful, inspiring, harrowing and heart-breaking, Nury Turkel has written a deeply moving memoir, a searing exposé of genocide and an essential challenge to the free world." -Ben Rogers, author of Burma: A Nation at the Crossroads
