The Beast: Riding the Rails and Dodging Narcos on the Migrant Trail by Óscar Martínez

5.0

I think this book should be required reading for every American. It is poignant and prescient. The harrowing journey that people embark on to get from central America to the United States is something that we all need to understand and respect. These folks are coming to the United States because they have to, and the U.S. bares some responsibility for having created the life-or-death conditions in countries like El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras.
