    Straight out of today's headlines

    This book seemed to me to start out a bit slow. Once I got past that, the reading became very interesting.
    I do not know if the author meant to do so, but I am seeing parallel after parallel in what the "Drys" were up to and what our current Far Right political types are up to. Pretty doggone amazing picture painted in this book.

    As entertaining as it is informative...

    I would recommend this book to anyone with an interest in American history. If you liked the PBS series, you'll marvel at how much was left out. Well researched, and written with zest and not a little humor. Bravo!

    Enjoyable non-fiction

    Great book. It is an easy-to-read factual telling of an interesting time in American history. A quick read for historical non-fiction.

    Great Book

    From the first page I found this book interesting, well written and easy to read. The author adds just enough humor and irony to his writing to make it more interesting without ruining the topic or the book. Though Prohibition ended in the early 1930's, there are things in this book to learn for those of us living in the 21st century.
