Buch 1 von 4: A Dry Hypocrisy: Prohibition, Power, and the Secret History of Washington D.C.
Inhaltsangabe
Part of A Dry Hypocrisy Series...forgotten true stories of power, privilege, and unequal enforcement in Prohibition-era Washington.
Congress wrote America’s dry laws. George Cassiday delivered their liquor.
For nearly a decade, a quiet World War I veteran carried briefcases filled with illegal alcohol through the guarded corridors of the United States Capitol. His customers occupied some of the most powerful offices in Washington. The lawmakers who publicly defended Prohibition depended upon discretion, privilege, and a supplier who understood that silence was part of the service.
Then came the green hat.
After his 1925 arrest made him nationally recognizable, Cassiday moved his operation from the House side of the Capitol to the Senate. A raid on his home uncovered hundreds of quarts of premium liquor. His final arrest in 1930 ended the deliveries—but opened the door to something far more dangerous.
In a sensational six-part newspaper exposé, Cassiday revealed how extensively congressional demand had sustained the illegal trade. He protected individual names while exposing the institution that had protected them.
The Man in the Green Hat reconstructs the documented rise, survival, and collapse of one of Washington’s most extraordinary Prohibition-era operations. It is the story of an unlikely historical witness who exposed the distance between the laws Congress enacted and the private conduct it concealed.
Six articles. One green hat. A decade of hypocrisy brought into the light.
Book One of A Dry Hypocrisy Series.
