Honorable Mention for the Vincent P. DeSantis Book Prize, Society for Historians of the Gilded Age and Progressive Era, "In a signal contribution to a growing scholarship on the history of food, Specht's Red Meat Republic carefully traces the emergence of the modern beef industry, following the story from cow path to slaughterhouse. A troubling, fascinating read." --Jill Lepore, author of These Truths: A History of the United States, "Peeling the plastic wrap off the cut, Specht uncovers the political economy of modern meat, from violent dispossession to high-stakes struggles over labor and profits." 'e"Kristin L. Hoganson, author of The Heartland: An American History, 'eoeSpecht'e(tm)s wonderful and impressive research covers an enormous territory. Red Meat Republic will reshape historians'e(tm) approach to this important topic.'e'e"John Mack Faragher, author of Eternity Street: Violence and Justice in Frontier Los Angeles, "Specht tells the little-known story of how Americans became beef-eaters. From cattle ranches in the rural West to slaughterhouses in Chicago, the environmental and business historian charts the path of meat and, in doing so, delivers what is really a tale of people and power. . . . By following the meat industry through centuries of conflict, this book puts a new, troubling lens on American history." ---Andrea Michelson, Smithsonian, "Specht's evocation of specific places--from the plains and the varied sites of industrial labor to the shops where meat was bought and the tables at which it was eaten--persuasively grounds his story in American culture. This is an impressive and compelling book." --Harriet Ritvo, author of Noble Cows and Hybrid Zebras: Essays on Animals and History, "In a signal contribution to a growing scholarship on the history of food, Specht's Red Meat Republic carefully traces the emergence of the modern beef industry, following the story from cow path to slaughterhouse.

Joshua Specht shows how this dramatic change in America's diet was grounded in a history of violence and social struggle, one that saw meatpackers prevailing over ranchers and butchers and becoming the feeders of the rapidly expanding republic."
