In this powerful and persuasive book, Deets and Wilson make the case for Prohibition, arguing that it is the best way to stamp out the social ills associated with alcohol consumption. Drawing on a range of sources, including statistical data and anecdotal evidence, they reveal the devastating effects of alcohol abuse on American families and communities, and offer a compelling argument for the need to maintain and strengthen Prohibition laws. A must-read for anyone interested in the history of temperance and Prohibition.
