Caught in the Middle

"In Caught in the Middle, Chicago Tribune reporter Richard Longworth explores the new realities of life in the heartland of America, uncovering what these changes mean for the Midwest - and the country. In the process, he covers everything from the manufacturing collapse that has crippled the Midwest to the biofuels revolution that may save it, and from the school districts struggling with new immigrants to the Iowa meatpacking towns that can't survive without them. The results add up to a portrait of a vast and influential segment of America's economy and culture that goes almost entirely ignored in the national media."--BOOK JACKET.Longworth, Richard C. is the author of 'Caught in the Middle', published 2007 under ISBN 9781596914131 and ISBN 1596914130.
