Prohibition
"Written by one of the top scholars of American alcohol history, Prohibition : A Concise History is required reading for anyone seeking to better understand this enigmatic period in our past. W. J. Rorabaugh breathes new life into the conventional narrative of the rise of American temperance, the crowning achievement of the 78th Amendment, and then the decade-long effort to repeal it. From public protests and campaigns for a draconian prohibition law to the private homes and flapper-filled speakeasies where that law was flaunted, Prohibition : A Concise History peers into the political and social dynamics that molded American politics for years, with consequences that would last decades.
Rorabaugh has given us a much-needed contribution to understanding our shared history."
