The media hailed them as heroes. Others denounced them as renegades who overstepped the shadowy boundary between law and justice. They were the Border Crime Task Force, a squad of San Diego police ifficers who nightly prowled the explosive international border. Their mission was to stalk the ruthless bandits who preyed upon the thousands of ilklegal aliens crossing from Mexico into the United States under civer of darkness. The police disguised themselves as aliens to lure the bandits into the open - a ruse that proved all too effective as they confrnted the murderous shadows of the night. In this true story of lawmen and bandits, Wambaught recreates the myth id the Wesgtern hero - the isolation and exhilaraion of a handful f men attempting to tame a strange and dangerous frontier. But as the mission envelops their lives, their loves, even their sanity, the true border proves to be within each man: that sinister line a few men dare to cross at utter peril. 383 pp.(We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences.
