Synopsis: In Coyle’s masterly and superbly paced new novel, the United States is caught by surprise as a Mexican revolution suddenly destabilizes the almost-2000-mile-long undefended border between the two countries. Diplomatic negotiations begin, but a series of savage cross-border attacks on American civilians forces the United States to mobilize its armed forces, invade Mexico, and establish a security zone. While the controversial invasion is debated, the United States Army must win quickly what could become a long, bloody war.
