The Booze, Bets and Sex That Built America

About

The three-part nonfiction series, THE BOOZE, BETS AND SEX THAT BUILT AMERICA, divulges surprising origin stories of the American alcohol, gambling, sex and tobacco industries and the ambitiously notorious entrepreneurs who built some of history's biggest fortunes consumed by the nation's appetite for it. Each two-hour episode is packed with scintillating historical facts, riveting drama, expert interviews and compelling characters who operate on both sides of the law. It's a little dangerous, a little taboo, and a lot of fun! Throughout the course of nearly a hundred years in the 19th and 20th centuries, the fight over alcohol, gambling, sex, and tobacco defines the American cultural experience and helps the country come of age.
