Storming the Wall: Climate Change, Migration, and Homeland Security by Todd Miller

4.0

It was a really great book to be sure, but there were large segments where it seemed to refer more to other folks' work than to develop its own argument. I think Storming the Wall was at its best as a journalistic account, following individuals in Guatemala, Paris, and the Philippines. There were times when its connective tissue ended up a bit too reliant on others' work, for my taste, than really connecting these individuals' stories. I should probably put in the HUGE CAVEAT that I read this while suck in a huge post-Thanksgiving travel delay so I may not have been in a great mood. That might affect its rating subconsciously. But its a really valuable book!
