Crossing the Line Mobsters and Rumrunners

During the 1920s, Prohibition laws led to lucrative deals between businessmen in Canada, where laws were less stringent, and their mobster connections in the U.S. The ensuing crime sprees, filled with tommy guns and barrels of bootlegged whiskey, have become part of the rich folklore of the Roaring Twenties. In this rollicking collection, veteran newshound Gord Steinke exposes American and Canadian rumrunners who used elaborate schemes to smuggle booze past the long arm of the law to their thirsty neighbors south of the 49th parallel.
