The Border Patrol is a group that nobody hardly ever thinks about, but upon which so much rests. Finally, a great book about an entirely worthy agency.

More now, than ever, it is important for more people like Vincent Vargas to tell their stories.

"If we cannot control who and what enters our homeland, we have no security, and ultimately no nation."

Vargas provides not only his story of working with the U.S. Border Patrol, but important historical and current information to help his readers learn the crucial differences between the various federal agencies responsible for security at our borders, writing and enforcing immigration policies and managing the process of securing our homeland.

I agree with his assessment that most Americans are blinded by the mainstream media and, in my opinion, coerced by narratives that tell "a story" and not "the story" of securing America's borders.

His story is worth reading, and it's told in an interesting and engaging fashion. I do recognize the influence of Jocko Willink in his writing style and storytelling, as I've also read several of his books.
