The Confessions of a Rum-Runner is an authentic journal of liquor smuggling during Prohibition (1920-1933). The author went into rum-running for the excitement and the chance to make money quickly. In time he built up a successful organization and carried on a business running into millions of dollars. After amassing a fortune, he called it quits, married the woman of his dreams, and opened a famous hotel in Africa. First published in the summer of 1928, The Confessions of a Rum-Runner is the most insightful account of the inner workings of smuggling during Prohibition ever written.
