This version of What Prohibition Has Done to America is a 1922 edition.
The book, which was published in the early years of America's prohibition on alcohol, provided a compelling argument for ending prohibition. The author believed that the Eighteenth Amendment, which mandated prohibition, was a crime against the Constitution of the United States. The author believed that prohibition had perverted the Constitution and created a nation of lawbreakers.
The book discusses the fundamental issues of prohibition with the hope that it might contribute in some degree towards the rescue of the country from "the evils" to which the government directs its attention, towards the return to a sound view of the relation of government to life, and towards repair the injuries already done to American institutions and to the temper of American life. If not, the author states that the law might prove but a foretaste of the destruction of "the spirit of liberty and individuality".
