Description
“Death and deception! Money and mayhem! Murder in broad daylight! The trial of the century!
With The Bourbon King, Bob Batchelor brings us a story that seems ripped from the tabloids,
except it all happens to be true. Batchelor tells the story of George Remus, one of the worldâ€s
most notorious bootleggers, with verve and pizzazz worthy of the gangster movies of
Hollywoodâ€s Golden Era.― ―Brian Jay Jones, New York Times bestselling author of
Becoming Dr. Seuss and Jim Henson: The Biography “The fantastic story of George Remus
makes the rest of the ‘Roaring Twenties†look like the ‘Boring Twenties†in
comparison. Itâ€s all here: murder, mayhem―and high-priced hooch.― ―David Pietrusza,
author of 1920: The Year of the Six Presidents “Guns, ghosts, graft (and even Goethe) are all
present in Bob Batchelorâ€s meticulous account of the life and times of the notorious George
Remus. Brimming with liquor and lust, greed, and revenge, this entertaining book might make you
reach for a good, stiff drink when youâ€re done.― ―Rosie Schaap, author of Drinking with
Men “The roaring â€20s glisten with vice and danger in this fast-paced portrait of prolific
bootlegger George Remus, from biographer Batchelor. . . . [The] action-packed narrative both
entertains and informs with its tales of the corruption of President Warren G. Hardingâ€s
attorney general, the bootlegging trade, and the publicâ€s oscillating views of Remus and
Prohibition in general. Larger-than-life characters take the reins of this story, a rip-roaring good
time for any American history buff or true-crime fan.' ―Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“The Bourbon King is a much-needed addition to the American mobster nonfiction bookshelf.
For too long, George Remus has taken a backseat to his Prohibition-era gangster peers like Lucky
Luciano and Al Capone. Read here about a man who intoxicated the nation with a near-endless
supply of top-shelf Kentucky bourbon, and then got away with murder.― ―James Higdon,
author of The Cornbread Mafia: A Homegrown Syndicateâ€s Code of Silence and the Biggest
Marijuana Bust in American History “Al Capone had nothing on George Remus, the true king
of Prohibition. His life journey is fascinating, a Jazz Age cocktail that Bob Batchelor mixes for
readers within these pages. Remus went from pharmacist to high-profile defense attorney to
bourbon king to murderer.― ―Tom Stanton, author of Terror in the City of Champions: Murder,
Baseball, and the Secret Society That Shocked Depression-Era Detroit “An aggressive,
ambitious foray into the brutal life and times of George Remus, an archetypal figure emerging from
the sordid tapestry of life and crime in the Prohibition Era. This historical portrait is presented not in
traditional, dry prose exposition, but rather in lucid, hard-hitting, tight writing interlaced with striking

dialogue―a form of storytelling that is effective, efficient, and transporting.― ―Phillip Sipiora,
editor of Mind of an Outlaw: Selected Essays of Norman Mailer “A captivating portrayal of the
Roaring Twenties, The Bourbon King shows how George Remus built and lost a bootleg empire,
only to be entangled in a love triangle that led to murder. Bob Batchelor brings the seedy
underworld of the 1920s fully to life.― ―Richard Steigmann-Gall, author of The Holy Reich
“Bob Batchelor is at the top of his game in this fascinating study, which combines the thrilling
and often disturbing story of George Remusâ€s life with penetrating insights into the history of
Prohibition, corruption, law enforcement, and the business of American bootlegging. A pleasure to
read for historians and bourbon aficionados alike.― ―Thomas Heinrich, author of Ships for the
Seven Seas: Philadelphia Shipbuilding in the Age of Industrial Capitalism “This is another
contribution from a leading scholar of popular culture. He brings to life a colorful character from the
Prohibition era in a style worthy of his subject.― ―Lawrence S. Kaplan, University Professor
Emeritus, Kent State University Praise for the authorâ€s previous book Stan Lee: The Man
Behind Marvel 'Where Batchelor succeeds most is fleshing out the settings and context along the
narrative spine of Leeâ€s life.' –Washington Post 'Fun Ride!' –New York Daily News[Remus]
was one of those larger-than-life outlaws…[Batchelor] makes this flashy bootlegger sound like a
folk hero…Since Remus made a point of selling pure, unadulterated hooch, he soon became the
kingpin of a national network of suppliers, distributors, lawyers and goons. Behold the
king.––New York Times Book Read more Bob Batchelor is a critically acclaimed, bestselling
cultural historian and biographer. He has published widely on American history and literature,
including books on Stan Lee, Bob Dylan, The Great Gatsby, Mad Men, and Joh
