The War on Alcohol

Prohibition and the Rise of the American State

2015 • 450 pages

From the Preface...

THIS book tells a more consequential story--one closely attuned to the ways in which social class, ethnicity, race, gender, and religiosity powerfully shaped not just the passage of the Eighteenth Amendment but also its more than decade-long unfolding across the nation. The War on Alcohol charts the battles waged over Prohibition between different social groups from its unfolding to its demise.
