New Yorker journalist John Seabrook, "The Spinach King"
"The Spinach King" is a business story -- how the son of a truck driver invented the mass production of frozen vegetables, employing more than 4000 workers, and how that company self-destructed. It is a story of the remarkable community the Seabrooks created, bringing 300 formerly-interned Japanese families and thousands of other non-native workers to a work force that spoke more than 30 languages. And, it is a family story, involving a spiteful and catastrophic family battle for control of the company that would rival "Succession," and John Seabrook's own experience of being a frozen-food heir.
