Smashing the Liquor Machine: A Global History of Prohibition

byMark Lawrence Schrad

Focused on a Global History of Prohibition, Smashing the Liquor Machine brings Mark Lawrence Schrad's historical account to a complex and consequential subject. The narrative identifies the people, decisions, and pressures that shaped the subject, then places those developments within the wider field of history. Specific examples keep the larger argument tangible and reveal why familiar explanations do not always account for the full story. Smashing the Liquor Machine leaves readers with key context and a clear view of the human stakes involved.
