El Tercer Pais: San Diego & Tijuana Two Countries, Two Cities, One Community

About this book

The product of scores of interviews with citizens of San Diego and Tijuana - from everyday working folks to the leading figures - this is the first book ever to look at the two-hundred-year history of the two cities and chart how their relationship has evolved from conflict to interdependence to cooperation. El Tercer Pais combines hard-nosed journalism with insiders' perspectives to create a celebratory look at how the two cities have gone beyond decades of distrust and wariness to become the most successful bi-national, bi-lingual "twin cities" on the planet - and a model for comparable border cities everywhere. And further, a vision for deeper collaboration between the three countries of the North American continent.
