Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book narrates the triumphs and tribulations of the fight against prohibition laws in Vermont. The author first delivers a historical backdrop of the state's politics, especially the powerful machine of the Republican party, to put the fight against the political establishment in context. The author then details the evolution of the movement. From the early days when local option legislation was receiving little attention, through a Bethel speech that became a turning point, to the bitter struggle and negotiation with entrenched interests, the book provides a vivid account of the grassroots effort to change minds and laws. Along the way, the author also describes the inconsistencies and associated corruption that were rampant under the guise of prohibition.
