Reviews

[Geoff Gander]

A very readable and helpful history of Prohibition and its effects on society.

[Lucy Marijane]

This is a very good book for learning about Prohibition. It's great for reports or just learning facts. I like how it has a timeline and biographies.

[Walt]

This is an excellent overview of Prohibition. It is easy to digest and pleasant to read. There are many small passages making the text easier to navigate and skim. It is largely adapted from standard works on Prohibition like Asbury's Great Illusion, Behr's Prohibition, and Kobler's Ardent Spirits; but none-the-less, an excellent primer.
