The Reaper's Line: Life and Death on the Mexican Border, Paperback/Lee Morgan

Descriere

I ve fallen under the spell of a fabulously infatuating mistress, writes Lee Morgan II in this searing memoir. She is Arizona s beautiful, dangerous borderland, and this is the shocking true story of Morgan s many years of combat there. A young Marine taught Morgan, aged 14, how to shoot a rifle. Then, he says, my pseudo big brother went on to infamously enter history books as the Texas Tower Sniper. Haunted by the Grim Reaper, today s Wild West is near anarchy. To know the Mexican people is to love them, writes Morgan, but he hates with righteous rage the crime and corruption he s witnessed on both sides of the border. Discover why Morgan has been called the Serpico of the desert. Climb down with him into a narco-tunnel built by slave labor to smuggle drugs. Consider the huge social and political questions raised by Morgan s passionate expose. I ve been personally shot, shrapneled, slashed, clubbed, burned, and nearly dragged to death, says the veteran lawman, who now lives with a Mexican bounty on his head. It s been a hell of a ride. And it s a hell of a story.
