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.ProhibitionNew York (State)New YorkHistory20th centuryManhattan (New York, N.Y.)Social conditions20th centuryNew York (N.Y.)Social conditions20th centuryElectronic books.ProhibitionHistory363.4109747109042MS 6410rvkLerner Michael A125729MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910455100103321Dry Manhattan2460381UNINA
