An engrossing and startling history of Chicago's Union Stock Yard, Dominic Pacyga's meticulous and fresh book addresses more than the rise and fall of the industrial district that for so long was a critical part of what defined Chicago, its immigrants, its economy, its environmental health (or lack thereof), and its politics.
