The Fiddlers; Drink in the Witness Box

This historical work accounts for the food destruction that resulted from the Drink Trade in Britain during the First World War. English writer, journalist, and educator, Arthur Mee explains how this criminal act of making alcoholic drinks has caused famine in England and is leading towards a big disaster; how the distillation of these drinks takes up several important foods that could feed a huge population in those times of war; how it uses up the men who at the time of the war were more required in combat. Mee also talks about several issues during the war concerning subjects such as alcoholism, social pathology, social and public welfare, and Criminology.
