The National Prohibition Act was no match for Hamtramck. Once a small farming village; Hamtramck grew to be a major industrial city in just a decade. With that came enormous social problems and a peculiar concept that the legality of alcohol wasn�t a constraint but; rather; an opportunity. Flaunting the infamous law became a way of life in Hamtramck; where it was as easy to get a drink as an ice cream cone. Paddy McGraw proudly ran his speakeasy and brothel with impunity. Mayors Peter Jezewski and Rudolph Tenerowicz were sent to prison for violations but were rewarded by the public. Join author Greg Kowalski as he delves into Hamtramck�s raucous prohibition history.

A quick read and good for anybody who wants to more than casual information about the Civil War era. This could have written today and youd never know the difference.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Definitely worthwhileBy Doc HollidayAmerica Goes to War addresses some of the salient cultural issues that are absent from studies of military strategy; battles and politics of Civil War history; (though; all of these remain essential to a real understanding of the significance of Civil War). The value of Cattons lectures; for this reader; underscore the importance of the Civil War; as the modern warfare prototype that was to emerge in the 20th Century; and how the unresolved social and political conflicts; manifested by the Civil War; remain in the American cultural fabric; even today.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
