The Bourbon King: The Life and Crimes of George Remus, Prohibition’s Evil Genius 

byBob Batchelor

Focused on the Life and Crimes of George Remus, Prohibition’s Evil Genius, The Bourbon King brings Bob Batchelor's biographical portrait to a complex and consequential subject. Moving between close detail and context, the book explains the forces surrounding its subject and connects them to the connected fields of biography & autobiography and history. The result avoids a single easy lesson, emphasizing instead how circumstances, institutions, and individual choices interacted over time. Readers finish with a sharper understanding of the subject and why its consequences still deserve attention.
