It is not exactly history--no footnotes and heavy on sociology, but it is interesting. It is quite balanced. The author has good things to say for Prohibition, and pooh-poohs the notion that Prohibition increased drinking--it clearly did not--or that crime increased because of it. Obviously, however, Prohibition decreased respect for law. The author points out the same thing can be said for drug laws--and there is merit in what he says. Since I strongly believe in illegalization of harmful drugs I presume if I had been an adult in 1915 I might have been for Prohibition! This book is a Norton Essay in History. Other titles in the same series look interesting. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

It shows the profound impact of the prohibition movement on political history before 1916 and analyzes its ambiguous triumph in the 1920s. In doing so, it reveals the relationship between liquor control and the unique moral history of the American family. Here is social history at its best, wiping away the myth and legends of the past.
