Bøger af Robert Lee Maril

Through first-person interviews with defense contractors, border residents, American military, Minutemen, county officials, Customs and Border Protection agents, environmental activists, and others whose voices have never been heard, Robert Lee Maril examines the 2,000-mile-long project to keep illegal immigrants, narcotics, and terrorists on the other side of the US-Mexico border.

As the residents of McAllen, Texas, sleep soundly, a small number of agents of the US Border Patrol wait on the banks of the Rio Grande. This book describes the daily risks they face and the insights they hold as a result of their experience with the hard realities of immigration policy, the war on drugs, and the threat of terrorist infiltration.
