Beschreibung

In his evocative history, Lerner reveals Prohibition to be the defining issue of the era, the first major "culture war" of the 20th century, and a harbinger of the social and moral debates that divide America even today.

Pressestimmen

"Lerner's book is a serious work, suggesting that there are still lessons to be learned from the 13 years, 10 months and 18 days of a utopian American delusion. There remain a number of Americans today who are filled with similar angry visions, longing to make them into law." - Pete Hamill, New York Times Book Review "Dry Manhattan is in all important respects exemplary, a singularly useful and revealing contribution to our understanding of a time from which the nation probably never will recover." - Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post Book World"
