A Look at the Eighteenth and Twenty-first Amendments: The Prohibition and Sale of Intoxicating Liquors (The Constitution of the United States)

Accenting the efforts of the Prohibition groups such as the Women's Christian Temperance Union and the Anti-Saloon League, author Amy Graham reviews the events and sentiments of the times that led to the short-lived existence of the Eighteenth Amendment. Also revisited are the times of bootleggers, speakeasies, and names like Al Capone, all of which contributed to the eventual creation of the Twenty-first Amendment.
