       This is one of the best political strategy books I've ever read. If you want to understand how a small political or policy fringe group can leverage it's voting power to overcome large majorities, this book is a step-by-step description for how that process can be achieved. On a more entertaining level, if you've ever wondered how America allowed itself to become a "dry country," how big-time mob syndicates got their start and prospered, how prohibition encouraged Americans to disregard and lose respect for the government and the rule of law, or just wondered about the history of the alcohol industry in the United States, you will not be disappointed in this book. Daniel Okrent has a masterful story-telling style of writing, that at the same time, is very specific and factorial. The book is marvelously researched. It is a fascinating story, told by a true master of the English language. I would recommend that you read this book, before watching the PBS special on Prohibition, you'll get much more out of the video.
