The War on Alcohol: Prohibition and the Rise of the American State

By (author) Lisa McGirr

| on special |

normal price: R 500.95

Price: R 475.95


| book description |

Prohibition has long been portrayed as a “noble experiment” that failed, a newsreel story of glamorous gangsters, flappers and speakeasies. Now Lisa McGirr dismantles this myth to reveal a much more significant history. Prohibition was the seedbed for a pivotal expansion of the federal government and the genesis of America’s contemporary penal state.
