The Amazing Story Of Repeal: An Expose Of The Power Of Propaganda by Dobyns, Fletcher is a non-fiction book that sheds light on the power of propaganda and its role in the repeal of the 18th Amendment in the United States. The book provides a comprehensive account of the Prohibition era, including the rise of the temperance movement and the eventual passing of the 18th Amendment, which prohibited the sale and consumption of alcohol in the country.The author, Fletcher Dobyns, details the tactics used by both sides of the Prohibition debate, including the propaganda campaigns launched by the temperance movement and the bootleggers who sought to undermine the law. The book also explores the political and social climate of the time, including the influence of organized crime and the impact of the Great Depression on public opinion.Through extensive research and analysis, Dobyns demonstrates how propaganda played a crucial role in shaping public opinion and ultimately led to the repeal of the 18th Amendment in 1933. The book serves as a cautionary tale about the power of propaganda and its potential to manipulate public opinion, even in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.Overall, The Amazing Story Of Repeal: An Expose Of The Power Of Propaganda is a compelling and informative read for anyone interested in the history of Prohibition, the power of propaganda, and the lessons that can be learned from this fascinating period in American history.This is a new release of the original 1940 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
