Formerly law-abiding citizens brewed moonshine, became rum- runners, and frequented speakeasies. Druggists, who could dispense ?medicinal quantities? of alcohol, found their customer base exploding overnight. So many people from all walks of life defied the ban that Will Rogers famously quipped, ?Prohibition is better than no liquor at all.? Here is the full, rollicking story of those tumultuous days, from the flappers of the Jazz Age and the ?beautiful and the damned? who drank their lives away in smoky speakeasies to bootlegging gangsters?Pretty Boy Floyd, Bonnie and Clyde, Al Capone?and the notorious St. Valentine's Day Massacre. Edward Behr paints a portrait of an era that changed the country forever.
