Thomas M. Coffey presents a richly detailed panorama of frustrated governors, crooked mayors, slippery bishops, stylish hoodlums, and decorated bootleggers, illustrating how the Eighteenth Amendment unleashed a wave of organised crime, political corruption, and social upheaval. Written with the pace of a thriller yet grounded in meticulous research, the narrative uncovers the contradictions at the heart of a nation that simultaneously legislated morality and celebrated lawlessness. A compelling work of popular history, it remains an authoritative account of one of the most fascinating and consequential periods in the American story.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48888031445211,"sku":"2026100006777-SECONDHAND","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/8f6c89e3-b58c-4387-81bd-fcf168aad1c0.png?v=1781753413","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100006777-secondhand-the-long-thirst-prohibition-in-america-1920-1933","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
