Download or read book Last Call written by Daniel Okrent and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-05-11 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A brilliant, authoritative, and fascinating history of America’s most puzzling era, the years 1920 to 1933, when the U.S. Constitution was amended to restrict one of America’s favorite pastimes: drinking alcoholic beverages. From its start, America has been awash in drink. The sailing vessel that brought John Winthrop to the shores of the New World in 1630 carried more beer than water. By the 1820s, liquor flowed so plentifully it was cheaper than tea. That Americans would ever agree to relinquish their booze was as improbable as it was astonishing. Yet we did, and Last Call is Daniel Okrent’s dazzling explanation of why we did it, what life under Prohibition was like, and how such an unprecedented degree of government interference in the private lives of Americans changed the country forever. Writing with both wit and historical acuity, Okrent reveals how Prohibition marked a confluence of diverse forces: the growing political power of the women’s suffrage movement, which allied itself with the antiliquor campaign; the fear of small-town, native-stock Protestants that they were losing control of their country to the immigrants of the large cities; the anti-German sentiment stoked by World War I; and a variety of other unlikely factors, ranging from the rise of the automobile to the advent of the income tax. Through it all, Americans kept drinking, going to remarkably creative lengths to smuggle, sell, conceal, and convivially (and sometimes fatally) imbibe their favorite intoxicants. Last Call is peopled with vivid characters of an astonishing variety: Susan B. Anthony and Billy Sunday, William Jennings Bryan and bootlegger Sam Bronfman, Pierre S. du Pont and H. L. Mencken, Meyer Lansky and the incredible—if long-forgotten—federal official Mabel Walker Willebrandt, who throughout the twenties was the most powerful woman in the country. (Perhaps most surprising of all is Okrent’s account of Joseph P. Kennedy’s legendary, and long-misunderstood, role in the liquor business.) It’s a book rich with stories from nearly all parts of the country. Okrent’s narrative runs through smoky Manhattan speakeasies, where relations between the sexes were changed forever; California vineyards busily producing “sacramental” wine; New England fishing communities that gave up fishing for the more lucrative rum-running business; and in Washington, the halls of Congress itself, where politicians who had voted for Prohibition drank openly and without apology. Last Call is capacious, meticulous, and thrillingly told. It stands as the most complete history of Prohibition ever written and confirms Daniel Okrent’s rank as a major American writer.

Book Synopsis Dry Manhattan by : Michael A. Lerner
Download or read book Dry Manhattan written by Michael A. Lerner and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-06-30 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book A First Class Temperament written by Geoffrey C. Ward and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2014-09-09 with total page 946 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this classic of American biography, based upon thousands of original documents, many never previously published, the prize-winning historian Geoffrey C. Ward tells the dramatic story of Franklin Roosevelt’s unlikely rise from cloistered youth to the brink of the presidency with a richness of detail and vivid sense of time, place, and personality usually found only in fiction. In these pages, FDR comes alive as a fond but absent father and an often unfeeling husband--the story of Eleanor Roosevelt’s struggle to build a life independent of him is chronicled in full–as well as a charming but pampered patrician trying to find his way in the sweaty world of everyday politics and all-too willing willing to abandon allies and jettison principle if he thinks it will help him move up the political ladder. But somehow he also finds within himself the courage and resourcefulness to come back from a paralysis that would have crushed a less resilient man and then go on to meet and master the two gravest crises of his time.

Book excerpt: This book is not AA-approved literature. Its sole purpose is to shed some light on the unbelievably beautiful history of Alcoholics Anonymous. Hopefully, it will provide members of AA a fun way to interact with one another while at the same time giving insight to how it all started. AA was founded in 1935, but this play goes all the way back to 1926, which is when some believe the first spark of hope was given and led to the start of this wonderful fellowship that has saved so many lives. The events and people listed within this book are all very real. The dialogue used is fictional and meant to help bring life to these monumental events.

Download or read book Vatican Impeachment written by Alfred Lenarciak and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-04-23 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Democratic elections are a privilege of the people to choose their leaders in order to govern them through various levels of public administration. Elections are polarizing exercises of the political powers competing for popular votes, presenting their programs which are expected to be fulfilled. Every candidate must stand in front of the people demanding their approval, meaning votes, and the majority form the government. Democracy has been known for three millennia and today represents the most popular form of government""with one exception. There is a country where elections are held in one room behind closed doors and only 120 men vote to choose one of them to become the most absolute ruler in the world. This country is the Vatican, and the absolute ruler is the Pope. He doesn't only rule the smallest country in the world, with only 451 citizens, but also 1.3 billion Roman Catholics disseminated across the world. While not hereditary, the papal dynasty has been in existence for two thousand years, and the present vicar of Christ sitting on Saint Peter's throne is the 266th. This is the longest reigning dynasty without interruption. The Catholic Church today is in crisis and very divided, trying to regain back the followers who are drifting away from the doctrine of the Pope. Most Catholics are confused if the Pope is their spiritual leader or a politician with radical ideology. He is implementing a revolution in the Church institutions following his own doctrine of purging those who disagree with him without forgiveness. There is no transparency, accountability, consultation, or any form of collective decision making. The two-thousand-year-old institution is overflooding with extremely serious problems covered up with the Pope's knowledge and approval. The majority of the cardinals who elected the current Pope in March 2013 sincerely regret it and now are waiting for a miracle to end of this pontificate. How to elect the righteous one? Could an American cardinal be elected Pope? History teaches us about unpopular monarchs being removed by revolutions. In democratic systems, however, leaders are removed by impeachment. Could the Pope be impeached? Is he just a man and a sinner or a superior human elevated to Saint Peter's throne? Who could have the courage to change history? Should only the Pope be impeached or the entire Vatican monarchy reformed in order to avoid self-destructive revolution? This is happening now. This story brings the reader behind the Vatican gates protected by Swiss Guards' halberds and discovers the intrigues, hypocrisies, ruthless politics, cronyism, corruptions, cover-ups, and clashes of various interests. "Fiction reveals truth that reality obscures" (RW Emerson).
