This is the history of Prohibition in Pittsburgh.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen you work hard, you play hard, and Pittsburgh is a hardworking city. So, when Prohibition hit the Steel City, it created a level of violence and corruption residents had never witnessed. Illegal producers ran stills in kitchens, basements, bathroom tubs, warehouses and even abandoned distilleries. War between gangs of bootleggers resulted in a number of murders and bombings that placed Pittsburgh on the same level as New York City and Chicago in criminal activity. John Bazzano ordered the killing of the Volpe brothers but did so without the permission of Mafia bosses; his battered body was later found on the street in Brooklyn. Author Richard Gazarik details the shady side of the Steel City during a tumultuous era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Gazarik\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 146713662X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781467136624\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/02\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.10h x 4.40w x 0.30d","brand":"Richard Gazarik","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43989865693439,"sku":"9781467136624","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_64c7b653-343a-4a66-89b2-adfbfaae2514.jpg?v=1683301786","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/prohibition-pittsburgh-richard-gazarik-9781467136624","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
