In 1919, the United States made its boldest attempt at social reform: Prohibition. This "noble experiment" was aggressively promoted, and spectacularly unsuccessful, in New York City. In the first major work on Prohibition in a quarter century, and the only full history of Prohibition in the era's most vibrant city, Lerner describes a battle between competing visions of the United States that encompassed much more than the freedom to drink.

Lerner includes interesting anecdotes about 1920s New Yorkers, well known locales, and newspaper accounts of the time. Not at all a "dry" read, the author captures the reader's attention and educates him. Notes and an index help make Lerner's title a valuable research source. ( )
