—Walter Isaacson

--Taylor Branch
“Last Call is--I can't help it--a high, an upper, a delicious cocktail of a book, served with a twist or two and plenty of punch.”
—Evan Thomas, "Newsweek"
“Daniel Okrent's "Last Call" fills a gaping void in American popular history that has been waiting for years to be filled, by providing a clear, sweeping, detailed and immensely readable account of Prohibition. His book is full of lively stories, incredible characters and fascinating research. It is, at once, great fun to read and solid history, a rare combination." –[trimmed quote still needsapproval]
—Michael Korda, author of "Ulysses S. Grant, " "Ike", and "With Wings Like Eagles"
“This is a marvelous and lively social history, one that manages to be both scholarly and exciting. Okrent takes us through a period of American history unlike any other. Fair-minded, insightful, and amused, he has a command of the material that makes the journey rewarding at every sober step of the way. I loved this book.”
--Lawrence Wright, author, "The Looming Tower: Al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11"
