Upton Sinclair delves deep into the horrendous labor policies and working conditions of the Chicago stockyards in the early twentieth century. The story follows a Slavic immigrant family who hopes to realize the American dream only to be brought down by unfair wages, unbearable labor, and the harshness of urban life. The book prompted a government investigation of the meatpacking industry.
