Book Review

Trucking Country: The Road to America's Wal-Mart Economy. By Shane Hamilton. (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2008. xii, 305 pp. $29.95, ISBN 978-0-691-13582-3.)

Even Princeton University Press cannot resist the urge to mislead in the name of sales. Caveat emptor: this book has little or nothing to do with Wal-Mart! It does, however, contain three interesting sections: two are twentieth-century historical geographical case studies, one of milk production in the Chicago and Milwaukee milksheds, one of American beef packing; the third, which is the common thread of the book, concerns the development of trucking in the agricultural sector of the economy and the forces that drove deregulation in American trucking.
