This book, part I of a three part series, tells an epic story that has been buried by time. In a time when transporting and selling alcohol was illegal, brave men went to sea in an effort to stop RUM SMUGGLERS AND PIRATES. Amazingly, these true stories of SEA BATTLES and chases are not from 200 years ago--they are from the 20th Century!
ALCOHOL, BOAT CHASES, AND SHOOTOUTS! by JAMES MORRISON tells the real stories of how the Coast Guard, Customs, Prohibition agents, and police attempted to enforce Prohibition on the water. MOST OF THE STORIES IN THIS BOOK HAVE NOT BEEN HEARD BY THE GENERAL PUBLIC IN OVER 80 YEARS!
JAMES MORRISON spent two years sifting through microfilm and government documents to piece together this lost story. This book has something for every reader, whether they are fascinated by stories of SMUGGLERS, PIRATES, SHIPWRECKS, or intellectual subjects like maritime law and international diplomacy.
THIS BOOK IS PART ONE OF WHAT WILL BE A THREE PART SERIES. PART II WILL COVER 1925-1929 AND PART III WILL COVER 1930 UNTIL THE REPEAL OF PROHIBITION IN 1933.
