History of the ATF - Part 1: How Prohibition Built the Bureau

This is a video on the T-Rex lab channel, but due to the number of requests, we're also posting it here for easier listening.

The actions of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives don't get as much attention as they should, but most people are generally aware of their recent history. However, to get a better understanding of how they developed as an enforcement agency, we have to go back to their first assignment. This will be a multi-part examination of where the ATF came from, and where they should go.
