A Line of Blood and Dirt

The audiobook explores the complex history of the Canada-US border, often regarded as the longest undefended border in the world, which emerged from a backdrop of conflict and uncertainty following the American Revolution. It delves into how treaties between Britain and the United States delineated lands neither could accurately control, leading to the expansion of both nations across the continent. Despite their ambitions, the border imposed restrictions and disrupted Indigenous communities, illustrating a persistent struggle for control and the projection of fear across international lines.
