This assignment is a combination of a traditional book review and an exercise in working with primary source documents. The links below are to documents on congressional testimony about Prohibition. Read both documents and incorporate the specifics of their arguments into your paper along with the traditional elements of a book review..<\/p>\n

New York Representative argues against Prohibition:
\nhttps:\/\/prohibition.osu.edu\/american-prohibition-1920\/fiorello-laguardia-prohibition<\/p>\n
For the more traditional part of the paper, discuss the range of the events and themes the author covers, the effectives of the book\u2019s thesis (or argument about Prohibition), and your analysis of the overall value as source for the history of Prohibition in the United States. In judging these aspects of the book, make sure you include the whole book, not just the politics of the issue..<\/p>\n
