A review by tracithomas
Soldiers and Kings: Survival and Hope in the World of Human Smuggling by Jason De León

dark informative medium-paced

4.0

This is a really interesting book that takes you deep into the world of the people who smuggle humans into the US across the US/Mexico border. It is ethnography not journalism so the questions of closeness and ethics was so present as I read. It challenged me on those grounds. It felt a little long, and sometimes I struggled to keep people separate in my mind because the author follows around 8 people.
