Borderline: Defending the Home Front by Vincent Vargas Paperback Book

Description: Borderline by Vincent Vargas An inside look at the U.S.-Mexico border through the eyes of former U.S. Border Patrol agent, Vincent Vargas, who served in Iraq and Afghanistan with the U.S. Armys 75th Ranger Regiment. Featuring a Foreword by #1 New York Times bestselling author Jocko Willink. The U.S.-Mexico border stretches nearly two thousand miles and is protected by a thin line of overworked and underfunded U.S. Border Patrol Agents who risk their lives every day. They are stigmatized in the media and fought over in the halls of Washington D.C., and Borderline shares their story: the truth of what is really happening on the U.S.-Mexico border. The story begins on the battlefields of the Middle East and culminates on the southwest border of the United States, where Vargas was tasked with protecting his country, his fellow agents, and the immigrants caught in the middle. He learned firsthand about the unforgiving brutality of the cartels, human traffickers, and the desert. After bearing witness to the carnage, Vargas made the decision to join the Border Patrols elite search-and-rescue unit called BORSTAR. With almost unfettered access, Vargas provides an in-depth, never-before-seen look into the U.S. Border Patrol, from the agencys origins to its present-day missions.

Review "We take our borders for granted--but we shouldnt. People serve and sacrifice every day, in the harshest of environments, facing dynamic situations, with little or no back up. These people are our Border Patrol--and Borderline is their story." --Jocko Willink, #1 Bestselling Author "Guarding the borders of the United States, and thereby protecting the citizenry, falls to a relatively small and often misunderstood federal law enforcement agency under the Department of Homeland Security. U.S. Customs and Border Protection, more commonly referred to as the Border Patrol, is the countrys first line of defense. It is comprised of dedicated Americans who put their lives on the line while being maligned in the press and by politicians with agendas at odds with the safety and security of the very constituents they represent. That rhetoric and those policies put the lives of the brave men and women of the U.S. Border Patrol in greater danger, yet they get up each day to hold the line for us all. Powerful, insightful, and thought-provoking, Borderline by Vincent Vargas is a must read for every American. Before you make a snap judgement about the Border Patrol based on a sound bite, take the time to understand the agency and get to know those who are charged with protecting the nation through the pages of Borderline." --Jack Carr, former Navy SEAL Sniper, host of the Danger Close Podcast, and #1 New York Times bestselling author of the James Reece Terminal List series "Vargas writes empathetically about the plight of beleaguered migrants, emphasizing the violence and human toll beneath the controversy...a useful insiders perspective regarding the border crisis." --Kirkus Reviews Details ISBN1250876494 Pages 320 Publisher St Martins Press Year 2024 ISBN-13 9781250876492 Format Paperback Publication Date 2024-11-19 Imprint St Martins Press Subtitle Defending the Home Front Place of Publication New York Country of Publication United States DEWEY 363.285092 Audience General US Release Date 2024-11-19 Author Vincent Vargas We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
