Recenzii

A concise, accessible history.
Smoothly written.
An informative and readable chronicle...a timely historical text.
The best short history available of the politics and practices of American temperance reform...highly recommended.
These long-dead battles put our own lesser war on cigarettes and narcotics (but bizarrely not alcohol) in sharp relief.
Excellent...Pegram's book is more than the 'noble experiment' [of Prohibition]; it is about all the experiments leading up to it and why they, too, failed.
