Moonshiners, Bootleggers, and Rumrunners

Moonshiners, Bootleggers & Rumrunners is filled with the exploits of shifty-eyed moonshiners tending backwood stills; daring bootleggers hustling cars laden with "tax-free" whiskey over rural highways; revenuers pursuing their quarry on foot, in cars and from airplanes; and rumrunners and Coast Guard ships engaging in the occasionally fatal "booze ballet". More than 125 black and white historical photographs accompany this thoroughly researched and entertaining look at America's love/hate relationship with "demon rum".
