Last Call: The Rise and Fall of Prohibition

Got this for my aunt whose interested in the subject, I was surprised by how thick it was. I read the first chapter and skimmed through it a bit and was pretty impressed.

I liked this book. It is easy to read and the tale it tells is fascinating. I bought it because my grandmother was involved in the Prohibition Movement. She thought (was sure?) that we would become a better country once alcohol was gone. I thought the best part of the book is when it showed the link between the two big efforts at the time --- getting the vote for women and to remove alcohol. I was glad that not all of the suffragettes were dry (I disagreed with my early training and drank when I became an adult -- and even earlier LOL) but I thought that some were is an interesting part of the feminist story. I really recommend this book.
