Title: Insightful account of the most disastrous failed border crossing
Review: Urrea writes a compelling and insightful, account of the disastrous trek across the border ending in the death of 14 Mexican hopefuls. The narrative begins with a brief look into the Border Patrol Agent(s)/Agency and various fragile border dynamics. The meat of the book comes in the second half and it will keep your interest as the detailed fateful journey is unfolded. This is done in part by the authors ability to create and capture the imagery of the Devils Highway landscape and history. I would recommend this book for anyone wanting a look into the shadowy Border Crossing world or just a story capturing a journey of a harsh desert landscape gone wrong in every way!
