The Eighteenth and Twenty-First Amendments

This book looks at the people behind the passage of both the Eighteenth and Twenty-First Amendments to the United States Constitution. The Eighteenth Amendment established a period of prohibition -- no sale, use, or distribution of any kind of alcohol was permitted in the United States. This period was filled with turmoil, as exemplified in the author`s historical accounts. The Twenty-First Amendment marked the first time in United States history that an amendment to the Constitution was overturned -- making the sale, use, and distribution of alcohol legal once again.
