Description
Love, murder, political intrigue, mountains of cash, and rivers of bourbon . . . The tale of George Remus is a grand spectacle and a lens into the dark heart of Prohibition. Yes, Congress gave teeth to Prohibition in October 1919, but the law didnt stop George Remus from amassing a fortune that would be worth billions of dollars today. As one Jazz Age journalist put it, Remus was to bootlegging what Rockefeller was to oil.
