Christopher Leonard is a business reporter whose work has appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Fortune, and Bloomberg Businessweek. He is the New York Times bestselling author of The Meat Racket and Kochland, which won the J. Anthony Lukas Work-in-Progress Award.
"A meticulous exposé of the meat industry... Leonard, whether he
means to or not, is also telling a broader story about American
business, consumerism, and--most of all--greed... What makes The
Meat Racket stand out is Leonard's superb storytelling and his
clear passion for the topic...He is a man on a mission--and that is
clearly the best kind of reporter to write a book like
this."--Jessica Valenti "Bookforum"
"Gripping...The Meat Racket is a riveting book, and the picture Mr.
Leonard paints is a disturbing one."-- "Wall Street Journal"
"One of the best books of investigative reporting that I've seen in
quite a while...if you think muckraking is dead or even on its last
legs, The Meat Racket is proof positive that it's very much alive.
The big question is whether or not there are any reformers and
regulators left who have the will and the strength to pick up the
ball and run with it."-- "Strategy + Business"
