Synopsis:

These titles provide exciting and informative topics for research and reports and offer in-depth coverage of major events in American history. Each title contains chapter notes, a further reading list, Internet addresses, a timeline, a map, and an index.

To some Americans, the Eighteenth Amendment — which banned alcohol and marked the start of the Prohibition era — was seen as a solution to the nation's problems. Unfortunately, Prohibition gave rise to such illegal and often dangerous activities as bootlegging, homemade liquor making, gang violence, and speakeasy operation. After thirteen unsuccessful years, Prohibition was repealed. Highlighting the people involved, author Suzanne Lieurance traces the exciting events of this unique period in United States history.

Synopsis:

Includes bibliographical references (p. 105-110) and index.
