Closing Time by Daniel Francis provides a good account of the border wars and smuggling across the northern border. Robert Rockaway\\u2019s article \\u201cThe Notorious Purple Gang\\u201d details the gang\\u2019s origin as well as the Cleaners and Dyers War.

For information about the link between Prohibition and organized crime in Chicago, Gus Russo\\u2019s The Outfit and Get Capone by Johnathan Eig are invaluable sources. Al Capone\\u2019s Beer Wars by John J. Binder is a fantastic re-assessment of the period that sorts out some of the fact from fiction, in a highly mythologized period. 

For more on the Increased Penalties Act, Michael Lerner\\u2019s Dry Manhattan, is a good resource used for this podcast, as is Daniel Okrent\\u2019s Last Call. Robin Room\\u2019s The Movies and the Wettening of America is the source for the section on Hollywood\\u2019s move away from temperance.

Kenneth D. Rose\\u2019s American Women and the Repeal of Prohibition provided insight into Pauline Sabin\\u2019s work, as did David J. Hanson\\u2019s comprehensive resource, Alcohol Problems and Solutions. The Washington Post\\u2019s recap of The Man in the Green Hat expos\\xe9 is available here.
