Summary: A fascinating history of the US/Mexico border
Review: This book is a fascinating review of the history of the US/Mexico border. While Metz has a very clear political view, the facts show a US government steeped in bureaucracy and political expediency.

The book reads like a text book and is a bit dry. However, I recommend that you take the time to read passages twice to thoroughly undertand them. Its worth your time.

The sections on the Colorado River and Rio Grande are particularly revealing and disturbing in their long term implications.
