Temperance and Prohibition: The Movement to Pass Anti-liquor Laws in America

by Mark Beyer

During this period of social reform, the progressives led a successful crusade to eliminate the manufacturing, distribution, and sale of alcohol. Beyer examines the societal problems caused by alcohol at the time, the fervent anti-liquor advocates such as the Women's Temperance Crusade, and Carrie Nation. The text and photographs portray the drama of this turbulent period when crime spread during the alcohol ban.

I thought this book told the story about Prohibition in a way that was easy to read and understand which is key in books for this age group.
