 Rating:  - U.S. BORDER PATROL ROCKSTHIS IS A GREAT BOOK, I WAS ON OPERATION JUMP START, WITH THE U.S.B.P., SO THIS BOOK MEENS ALOT TO ME, KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK, GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND YOUR FAMILYS Rating:  - Good history, but.......No doubt about it. This book covers the history of the Border Patrol. However, it falls far short of what it ostensibly bills itself and ends up more as a "fluff piece" than anything else.

Americans should know this and honor their hard work. This is a good book on a very important aspect of our nation's security after 9/11. Rating: - Couldn't put it down.I received this book in the middle of finals and made the mistake of opening the cover. I couldn't put it down. I purchased the book to learn more about the USBP and now I want to be an Agent! The proud history of the USBP is illustrated well as is the current status of the organization. The author really seems to know what he is writing about and must've interviewed a hundred people. Rating: - A Quick ReviewThis is an outstanding read. At times it reads like the newspaper; at times it reads like a novel. The author(s) have done an impressive job at combining details and narrative to get information across in a very enjoyable manner. I highly recommend this book as an introduction to the life on the line of the US Border Patrol.
