Great Read! |
I am now reading an excellent book--Last Call: the Rise and Fall of Prohibition by Daniel Okrent. It is the amazing story of how a coalition of racists, suffragettes, progressives and nativists came together to subvert the US Constitution with the passage of the 18th amendment.
FDR imbibing |
But let's give Churchill the last word. He called Prohibition, "an affront to the whole history of mankind."
Cheers from London!
