Dan Mallek and Others: A recent book that has not been mentioned that I think might be useful for American temperance is Thomas Pegrams's <Battling Demon Rum: The Struggle for a Dry America, 1800-1933.> (Ivan Dee: 1998) Although I still prefer Jack Blocker's book, Pegram's is in print and should be in paper. Also, it seems to me very up-to-date on American political history and the role of temperance in political movements. It also has the advantage of being concise and accessible to undergraduates.
