The facts of prohibition in the United States

1 pp 1930

The notion of legislating certain behaviors has long divided America. Restricting the sale and consumption of alcohol seems morally justified to some and outlandish to others. Certain forces converged to fight for Prohibition in the early 20th century. They understood that residents in large urban areas would work against them and as this map indicates, state by state they would use a Constitutional amendment to bring out the necessary change to the American landscape, appreciating that even within states, there would be local sensibilities about which strategies to pursue. The story of this battle surrounds the map.

The fifth column menaces America on a thousand fronts

1 pp 1941

"Purports to show that Communists--allegedly in league with Nazis and various Fascist organizations--had established a pervasive, nationwide fifth column that "menaces America on a thousand fronts." The country is divided to show Communist district boundaries and Nazi department boundaries. The authors assert that the fifth column has penetrated the U.S. Army, Navy, and National Guard, as well as its defense industries. The verso contains a list of hundreds of "the more important Communist, Nazi, Fascist and native totalitarian groups" and various "united front" and "fellow-traveler" affiliates. This list is based on government investigations, sworn testimony and records of the House Un-American Activities Committee and other legislative inquiries, and on extensive data and secret documents in the files of the map's publisher."--Edited description of P.J. Mode on Boston Rare Maps website.
