With the passage of the Eighteenth Amendment and the Volstead Act a bridge of enforcement was developed transmitting National policy into local action-enforcement of Prohibition became the responsibility of Federal, County, and local police agencies. In towns, counties and states across the country individuals ignored these laws in the pursuit of profits, because of cultural imperatives, or out of the sheer desire to secure their liberty.

- o***l (96)- Feedback left by buyer.Past yearVerified purchaseBefore purchase, I asked the seller if this was the 5th edition of the book, as the picture showed, and the seller said it was. I have ebay messages to prove the exchange. So I went to purchase it, and they sent me the 3rd edition of the book. This is a terrible seller, for which I will be requesting a refund!Cancer-Free: Your Guide to Gentle, Non-toxic Healing [Paperback] Bill Henderson (#315743086216)
