The Eighteenth Amendment, Prohibition, went into effect in 1920 and was repealed in 1933. Okrent, author of books on Rockefeller Center, baseball, and his role as first public editor of the New York Times, is well-positioned to look at a wide range of influences on and consequences of this social experiment, including the Temperance and Suffrage movements, anti-immigrant sentiment, the role of the Ku Klux Klan, and the rise of organized crime.
