The prohibition era : America's war on alcohol Cover Image Book

The prohibition era : America's war on alcohol / Jason Viola ; art by Roger Langridge ; introduction by Christine Sismondo.

America's war on alcohol (portion title)
Viola, Jason, (author.). Langridge, Roger, (illustrator). Sismondo, Christine, (author of introduction, etc).

Summary:

"In 1919, the United States ratified an amendment to the Constitution that outlawed the manufacture, transportation, and sale of alcohol. As a hard-fought dream for a better world became federal law, society soon began facing an onslaught of new problems: clever bootleggers, corrupt enforcers, crowded prisons, and violent gangsters. Walk through the hidden hallway of a Jazz Age speakeasy to uncover the moral panic over alcohol and excess that we continue to grapple with today."-- Provided by publisher.
