With the passage of the Eighteenth Amendment and the Volstead Act a bridge of enforcement was developed transmitting National policy into local action-enforcement of Prohibition became the responsibility of Federal, County, and local police agencies.

    Before purchase, I asked the seller if this was the 5th edition of the book, as the picture showed, and the seller said it was. I have ebay messages to prove the exchange. So I went to purchase it, and they sent me the 3rd edition of the book. This is a terrible seller, for which I will be requesting a refund!
