This book chronicles the rise of the prohibition movement in the United States, culminating in the passing of the 18th Amendment to the Constitution in 1919. The narrative begins by discussing the role of temperance reformers in the 19th century, including their efforts to pass local option laws and state-wide prohibition. The book also explores the influence of the Anti-Saloon League and the Women's Christian Temperance Union in the early 20th century, and highlights the methods employed by the liquor industry to undermine prohibition efforts. The author portrays the challenges faced by prohibitionists and the strategies they employed to overcome them, including the use of non-partisan methods and the support of organizations such as the Ku Klux Klan. The book sheds light on the complex social and political factors that shaped the prohibition era, including the role of ethnic and religious groups, and the impact of World War I. This detailed account of the prohibition movement offers insights into the history of temperance reform and the complex interplay between social, economic, and political forces that ultimately led to the adoption of national prohibition in the United States.
