The War Boys

In their spare time three vigilantes, childhood friends, enjoy patrolling the U S/Mexican border. But these youths soon learn that even the most guarded borders are permeable. When the lines between fantasy and reality become dangerously blurred, these young men are forced to decide what it means to be an American, and who has the right to belong. "…a violent and often beautifully written story about three young Texan men who have hired themselves out to catch 'wetbacks'…" Carol Burbank, Chicago Reader "THE WAR BOYS, a vital three hander about the informal policing of the Mexican border in Texas by racially screwed-up, sadistic vigilantes." James Christopher, Time Out "…the much acclaimed WAR BOYS…" Lyn Gardner, The Guardian (review of IN THE HEART OF AMERICA)
