Excerpt from Pleas for Prohibition These monetary compromises with the liquor traflic present so many and grotesque absurdities, they are so void of public honesty, equity, and moral quality, as to forbid them the least toleration in the thoughts of either wise or Christian men. They are the wages of unrighteousness and the rewards of immoral surrenders. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Close the Saloons: A Plea for Prohibition Few of us apprehend the magnitude of the liquor business in the United States. It never has been put into figures, for much of it evades law and escapes report. If it could be reported in its huge proportions it would not be com prehended, for hardly any body really understands what a million means. But let us try.

“[This] fine history of Prohibition . . . could have a major impact on how we read American political history.”—James A. Morone, New York Times Book Review Prohibition has long been portrayed as a “noble experiment” that failed, a newsreel story of glamorous gangsters, flappers, and speakeasies. Now at last Lisa McGirr dismantles this cherished myth to reveal a much more significant history. Prohibition was the seedbed for a pivotal expansion of the federal government, the genesis of our contemporary penal state. Her deeply researched, eye-opening account uncovers patterns of enforcement still familiar today: the war on alcohol was waged disproportionately in African American, immigrant, and poor white communities. Alongside Jim Crow and other discriminatory laws, Prohibition brought coercion into everyday life and even into private homes. Its targets coalesced into an electoral base of urban, working-class voters that propelled FDR to the White House. This outstanding history also reveals a new genome for the activist American state, one that shows the DNA of the right as well as the left. It was Herbert Hoover who built the extensive penal apparatus used by the federal government to combat the crime spawned by Prohibition. The subsequent federal wars on crime, on drugs, and on terror all display the inheritances of the war on alcohol. McGirr shows the powerful American state to be a bipartisan creation, a legacy not only of the New Deal and the Great Society but also of Prohibition and its progeny. The War on Alcohol is history at its best—original, authoritative, and illuminating of our past and its continuing presence today.
