Praise for this book

"Mr. Asbury besides being an expert social historian is well-equipped for the writing of this history, as he is a descendant of a leader of the temperance movement. He recounts history in his usual deft manner, weaving his facts and statistics into an absorbing and at times ironical humorous picture of the battle of prohibition. Recommended."-Library Journal
