Damn the Allegators is a factual and shocking account of a small, elite segment of your "treasury men in action" in the fifties and sixties involved in the destruction of moonshine whiskey, and the warfare with the criminals responsible for making and distributing it. It is a rousing, peppery chronicle of the Southern Moonshine Wars by a retired front line warrior, Joseph E. Carter. First-hand accounts of aggressive ATF efforts to take down bootleggers in North Carolina during the 1950's era. Bootlegger operations ranged from most rudimentary to highly engineered and managed operations. Hard to believe the author survived so many shootings and vehicular chases.
