  <default-description>In this work of grave beauty and searing power one of the most widely praised pieces of investigative reporting to appear in recent years we follow 26 men who in May 2001 attempted to cross the Mexican border into the desert of southern Arizona, through the deadly region known as the Devils Highway, a desert so harsh and desolate that even the Border Patrol is afraid to travel through it, a place that for hundreds of years has stolen mens souls and swallowed their blood. Only 12 of the men made it out.</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[After listening to author, Luis Urrea, on NPR one day I decided I wanted to read his book.  While searching for the newest book he was describing, I found this book and decided with my daughter living in Arizona, I should read it.  You will follow a group of 26 men who spend their life savings + mor...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/59526683">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A devastating story about 14 men who died crossing the border in 2001. The detailed description of what actually happens when you die from heat exhaustion/hyperthermia was absolutely terrifying. The book had more of a true-crime feel than I was expecting (the guide, who didn't know what he was doing...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/63791550">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I read this book as eagerly as I read his previous two books about the border (Across the Wire, and By the Lake of Sleeping Children). This book is even more heartwrenching, and makes me more angry at our government for not working with Mexico's government to implement comprehensive immigration refo...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/61540518">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A gripping portrait of Mexican migrants tragically dying on their way to the United States.  Urrea doesn't hide his bias, but does a great job of describing both sides of the immigration debate--i.e., the US &amp; Mexico.  The portrayal of the Border Patrol's humanitarian efforts to save lives after the...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/42285347">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[An account of immigrants who illegally crossed the U.S./Mexican border and were abandoned by smugglers in the unforgiving Arizona desert. A page turner and a unique view of illegal immigration (though I admit, the book seemed, to me at least, biased to the side of the crossers). Living close to the ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/69253250">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I read this before I went to Arizona to volunteer with No More Deaths (<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.nomoredeaths.org">www.nomoredeaths.org</a>), a humanitarian group trying to end exactly the incidence of migrant deaths described in this book.
