Description

The names have been changed to protect the guilty in this otherwise-authentic account of liquor smuggling during Prohibition. The author, who amassed a fortune from his bootlegging empire, published these memoirs under a pseudonym in 1928. His insider's view offers perhaps the most revealing look available at the police corruption, government graft, and violence behind the illicit business.

Author Biography:

Oxford alumnus Eric Sherbrooke Walker (1887-1976) was a decorated WWI officer. During Prohibition, he smuggled liquor into the United States and fled to Canada after wounding the state trooper who attempted to steal his cache of whiskey. In 1928 he published this memoir under the pseudonym James Barbican.
