Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a historical analysis of the prohibition movement in the United States. It traces the movement's origins to the temperance movement of the early 19th century, arguing that it was the temperance movement's focus on the evils of alcohol that led to the rise of prohibition. The author argues that prohibition was a logical outgrowth of the temperance movement, and that it was not simply a reaction to the excesses of the liquor industry. The book also examines the impact of prohibition on American society, arguing that it was a failure that led to a decline in public morality and an increase in organized crime. The book concludes by arguing that the lessons learned from prohibition are still relevant today, and that the movement for prohibition is not likely to be revived in the near future.
