Closing time

Más información sobre el libro

'Closing Time' tells the story of the fascinating attempt to control the social habits of Canadian citizens. It began as a popular crusade to cleanse society of a widespread evil, but instead became an opportunity for larceny, profit, and violence on a grand scale. Employing a variety of anecdotes and illustrations, this text conjures the legal and historical context of Prohibition, presenting well-rendered figures and impressive research.
