The era of Prohibition was unlike any other in U.S. history. Though alcohol was illegal, crime syndicates began making and selling it—and the U.S. government tried to take action against them. In this engaging volume, readers encounter the most famous feud of this era: crime boss Al Capone and the "untouchable" Eliot Ness of the Prohibition Bureau. Containing both biographical information as well as historical context, this book is a great complement to social studies curricula about the era. Historical photographs introduce these interesting historical characters and complement the achievable main text.
