Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book exposes the corruption that was prevalent in Richmond, Virginia at the turn of the 20th century, particularly as it related to alcohol and its role in politics and everyday life. Despite being over a century old, the author's condemnation of the evils of alcohol remain as relevant as ever, and the book offers a stark portrayal of the devastating social effects of alcohol abuse. The author was outspoken in their criticism of the political machine that was in control of Richmond at the time, and their writings show a clear understanding of the ways in which alcohol was used to corrupt politicians and manipulate elections. An important historical document that provides insight into the history of alcohol prohibition in the United States, the book is also notable for its insightful commentary on the broader social and political issues of the day, which remain relevant in many ways to this day.
