Synopsis:
Last Call: The Rise and Fall of Prohibition by Daniel Okrent offers a comprehensive history of the Eighteenth Amendment, detailing how a determined coalition of temperance activists, nativists, and suffragists successfully banned alcohol in 1920. Okrent explores the social, political, and cultural forces that fueled this "noble experiment” and its eventual failure, driven by widespread defiance, corruption, and unintended consequences.
