The Devil's Highway by Luis Alberto Urrea

4.0

I just realized I never wrote this review. This book catalogs a group of men that attempt to cross the desert of Arizona in the deadly heat of the summer. It's a story that takes you through the foolish mistakes made by the man placed in charge of getting them to safety. It is truly horrible what happens to the men in hopes of getting to America and what they believe will give them a better life.

The title refers to this region as it is horribly hot with little to no shade and the elements are can be deadly. The events occurred in May 2001, but are still very relevant today.
