MOONSHINE A CULTURAL HISTORY OF AMERICA’S INFAMOUS LIQUOR

By JAIME JOYCE THIS NEW BOOK explores America’s centuries-old relationship with moonshine from its history to its widespread effect on US pop culture.  Topics covered include the role whiskey played in America’s military past; the long-term societal impact and health-related consequences caused by unregulated stills; the butterfly-effect of moonshine’s influence on readers’ daily lives through things like NASCAR, Hollywood movies and television and the folk and country music scene; and moonshine’s long road to acceptance and its cult-like following in modern times. As an editor at Time Inc., Joyce’s work has appeared in SAVEUR, EDIBLE BROOKLYN and the online edition of THE ATLANTIC as well as on the Big Roundtable, a website for long-form narrative nonfiction.  SRP is $29.99
