NAMED A TOP 10 BOOK OF 2018 BY NPR and THE WASHINGTON POST WINNER OF THE LOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK
PRIZE IN CURRENT INTEREST FINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE NONFICTION AWARD The
instant New York Times bestseller  A must-read for anyone who thinks 'build a wall' is the
answer to anything. --Esquire For Francisco Cantú  the border is in the blood: his mother  a
park ranger and daughter of a Mexican immigrant  raised him in the scrublands of the Southwest.
Driven to understand the hard realities of the landscape he loves  Cantú joins the Border
Patrol. He and his partners learn to track other humans under blistering sun and through frigid
nights. They haul in the dead and deliver to detention those they find alive. Plagued by a
growing awareness of his complicity in a dehumanizing enterprise  he abandons the Patrol for
civilian life. But when an immigrant friend travels to Mexico to visit his dying mother and
does not return  Cantú discovers that the border has migrated with him  and now he must know
the full extent of the violence it wreaks  on both sides of the line.
