The Devil's Highway: A True Story by Luis Alberto Urrea
"the single most compelling, lucid, and lyrical contemporary account of the absurdity of U.S. border policy" (The Atlantic). Urrea offers brilliant investigative reporting of what went wrong when, In May 2001, a group of 26 men attempted to cross the Mexican border into the desert of southern Arizona, through the deadliest region of the continent, known as the "Devil's Highway." Only 12 men came back out. Three years later, Luis Alberto Urrea wrote about what happened to them. The result was a national bestseller, a Pulitzer Prize finalist, and a work proclaimed as a modern American classic.
