After 9\/11, while Americans' attention was trained on the Middle East and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the War on Terror was ramping up on our own soil--aimed not at terrorists but at economic migrants, refugees, and families from South and Central America seeking jobs, safety, and freedom in the U.S. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut we are no safer. Instead, families are being ripped apart, undocumented people are living in fear, and thousands of migrants have died in detention or crossing the border. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTaking readers to the Border Patrol outposts, unmarked graves, detention centers, and halls of power, \u003ci\u003eSand and Blood\u003c\/i\u003e is a frightening, essential story we must not ignore.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Carlos Frey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 156858847X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781568588476\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bold Type Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/25\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.10w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn Carlos Frey\u003c\/b\u003e is an investigative reporter and documentary filmmaker based in Los Angeles.
