Lerner, Michael A. Dry Manhattan Prohibition in New York City
Cambridge, MA Harvard University Press 2007 067402432x / 9780674024328 First Edition; First Printing Softcover Fine
An Uncorrected Proof (stated) in pictorial wrappers. A study of the impact of Prohibition on New York City describes how the implementation of the 18th Amendment led to a dramatic clash of cultures between proponents of personal liberty and advocates of societal reform and how the inability of officials to enforce the ban on alcohol created new markets for illegal alcohol, promoted corruption and crime, and fostered a culture of nightclubs and speakeasies.
