The story of Prohibition in the United States is one of extremes, with temperance crusaders on one side working to ban alcohol across America and bootleggers and organized crime rings on the other side illegally transporting alcohol into speakeasies and homes. Readers explore both sides of this controversial period in American history as they learn the fascinating facts behind the passage and repeal of the 18th Amendment. The captivating main text is supplemented by a helpful timeline, relevant primary sources, informative sidebars, and annotated quotations from historical figures and scholars.
