This audiobook explores the true story behind Prohibition in the United States, revealing how the illegal alcohol trade replaced essential legal institutions like courts, labeling, and taxation. It examines how various aspects of the era—such as organized crime, fame, and the growth of federal enforcement—were shaped by this legal shift, often leaving lasting impacts long after Prohibition ended. The narrative offers a deeper understanding of the period, challenging the traditional costume drama portrayal and explaining the enduring influence of the era's institutions.
