Alle Exemplare der Ausgabe mit dieser ISBN anzeigen:"Bauer turns phrases easily [...]. Readers will be entertained." --"Publishers Weekly"
"A fascinating, well-researched glimpse into a much--storied period in U.S. history." --"Library Journal"
"A well-researched, engaging look at an Iowa bootlegging operation and how the bonds and intimacy of small-town life kept it alive." --Maureen Ogle, author of "Ambitious Brew: The Story of American Beer"
"Bauer serves up history just the way I like it--straight and with a strong punch. "Gentlemen Bootleggers" is insightful, well-written, and highly entertaining." --Jonathan Eig, author of "Get Capone: The Secret Plot That Captured America's Most Wanted Gangster""Bauer's work is well documented and thoroughly detailed, leaving no doubt that these events really and truly happened (there are some skeptics who deny bootlegging even occurred in Iowa). But one of the best parts of "Gentlemen Bootleggers" is the level of engagement with which Bauer tells the story. His writing feels effortless; more like a really enjoyable conversation over several drams on a late winter's afternoon, rather than a starchy, overly annotated tome gathering dust on a library stack. Like Fred Minnick's Whisky Women" in 2013, Gentlemen Bootleggers" is a solid debut and hopefully not the last we've seen of Bauer on the subject of spirits." --Drinkhacker.com "The book is well researched and filled with amazing detail gleaned from a myriad of sources. [...] This work is a highly interesting detailed study of one town's response to Prohibition. Highly recommended." --California Grapevine
"Pesky revenuers be damned, "Gentleman Bootleggers" uncovers how small-town Iowa worked together to make and sell rye whiskey. This book will make you crave untaxed liquor . . . the illegal stuff." --Fred Minnick, author of "Whiskey Women: The Untold Story of How Women Saved Bourbon, Scotch, and Irish Whiskey"
""Gentlemen Bootleggers" presents an intriguing and accurate account of Templeton rye production during Prohibition and reveals how this illegal activity saved many farmers in the area from foreclosure. Bauer, as a meticulous researcher, does an excellent job of weaving local history with state and national events." --Arthur Neu, former lieutenant governor of Iowa
The story of the legendary Templeton rye and the midwestern bootlegging empire that created this liquor is a fascinating slice of American history. Bauer has written a vivid and comprehensive tale, full of characters, action, anecdotes, facts, and cultural observations, that provides a compelling look at this peculiar period. "Gentleman Bootleggers" is a necessary addition to existing scholarship and a must-have for any scholar or fan of the Prohibition era, bootlegging, and the distillation of illegal spirits. Matt Bondurant, author of "The Wettest County in the World""
"A fascinating, well-researched glimpse into a much-storied period in U.S. history." Library Journal""
Gentlemen Bootleggers tells a never-before-told tale of ingenuity, bootstrapping, and perseverance in one small town, showcasing a group of immigrants and first-generation Americans who embraced the ideals of self-reliance, dynamism, and democratic justice. It relies on previously classified Prohibition Bureau investigation files, federal court case files, extensive newspaper archive research, and a recently disclosed interview with kingpin Joe Irlbeck. Unlike other Prohibition-era tales of big-city gangsters, it provides an important reminder that bootlegging wasn’t only about glory and riches, but could be in the service of a higher goal: producing the best whiskey money could buy.
