"One of the great surrealistic tragedies of the global age...Urrea has crafted an impassioned and poetic exploration of the dark side of globalization, where commodities flow free and people die in the desert."--Jefferson Cowie, Chicago Tribune "Urrea writes about U.S.-Mexican border culture with a tragic and beautiful intimacy that has no equal."--Tom Montgomery Fate, Boston Globe "Urrea's writing is wickedly good--outrage tempered with concern channeled into deft prose."--Kathleen Johnson, Kansas City Star "It makes what currently passes for our public debate over illegal immigration seem appallingly abstract and tin-eared. The Devil's Highway isn't just a great book, it's a necessary one."--Jeff Salamon, Austin American-Statesman "The single most compelling, lucid, and lyrical contemporary account of the absurdity of U.S. border policy."--The Atlantic "A powerful, almost diabolical impression of the disaster and the exploitative conditions of the border. Urrea shows immigration policy on the human level."--Booklist "In artful yet uncomplicated prose, Urrea captivatingly tells how a dozen men squeezed by to safety...Confident and full of righteous rage, Urrea's story is a well-crafted melange of first-person testimony, geographic history, cultural and economic analysis, poetry and an indictment of immigration policy."--Publishers Weekly
The author of 'Across the Wire' 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. Only 12 men came back out. 'Superb . . . Nothing less than a saga on the scale of the Exodus and an ordeal as heartbreaking as the Passion . . . The book comes vividly alive with a richness of language and a mastery of narrative detail that only the most gifted of writers are able to achieve. - Los Angeles Times Book Review.
