Moonshine: A Global History by Kevin R. Kosar explores the fascinating and often illicit world of homemade spirits. From grapes to grains, sugar to tree bark, people around the globe have improvised their own liquor for centuries. The history of moonshine is one of human ingenuity and criminality, with cleverly designed stills and secret smuggling operations playing a key role. However, this DIY distilling tradition has also led to the production of many toxic and dangerous moonshines that are unregulated and pose health risks. This entertaining book takes readers on a journey spanning centuries and the globe, revealing the colorful characters and stories behind the world's most infamous homemade spirits.
