Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Set against the backdrop of Prohibition, the narrative explores the fierce resistance of Glen Rose against Governor Pat Neff's enforcement efforts. In 1923, Texas Rangers and undercover agents were sent to combat the town's thriving illegal alcohol trade, leading to the arrest of over fifty individuals, including local officials. The situation escalated as prominent citizens retaliated, culminating in the assassination of a key operative. Martin Brown chronicles the chaos of the raid and its significant repercussions on the community.
