*Religion, Politics, and Sugar: The Mormon Church, the Federal Government, and the Utah-Idaho Sugar Company, 1907–1921*. By Matthew C. Godfrey. (Logan: Utah State University Press, 2007. vi + 226 pp. Illustrations, map, notes, bibliography, index. $34.95.)
This valuable monograph builds on Leonard Arrington's Beet Sugar in the West: A History of the Utah-Idaho Sugar Company, 1891–1966 (Seattle, 1966) to demonstrate the role the Utah-Idaho Sugar Company played after its founding in 1907 in producing the quantities of sugar that moved Mormon economic endeavors from the local and regional level to the national stage.
