This book was recommended by one of my co-wrokers. I stumbled upon this unabridged copy and I was glad that I read it instead of an abridged version. I think that because this book was written by a socialist, that we get a clearer view of what was going on in America at that time. Not only does this book give the reader insight into the meat processing companies of the day, it also talks to the over all plight of the American immigrants and how American industry and politics were slanted towards corruption. You can feel the anguish of the characters as they struggle for just the basic requirements for survival. This is a good history lesson and is a good read.
