Gag me.
Do you happen to remember what this book was called or who wrote it?
What was the result of the Roaring 20's? Next thing we know you're going to quote some book praising Herbert Hoover's successful economic record.

The roaring 20's did end in the great depression. But it wasn't the economic success of the 20's that did that. It was the combination of sudden world wide trade barriers strongly exacerbated by Hoover raising taxes in the middle of an economic crisis.
I wish I could. I came across it at LSU's library some 20 years ago. If I remember right it was written by a doctor. But it definitely presented a different view of the prohibition era.
