In May 2001 a group of men tried to cross the Arizona desert from Mexico into the United States. Twenty-six started. Fourteen survived. Urrea spent years with the survivors, the Border Patrol agents, and the families of the dead reconstructing what happened — the coyote who abandoned them, the terrain that killed them, the political machinery on both sides that made the crossing necessary. The most human account of the border ever written. A dispatch that refuses to let twenty-six men be a statistic.
