Spritsmuggling På Östersjön - En Kulturhistorisk Studie Av Nätverk I Tillblivelse
The Vodka Sea, så har Östersjön kallats till följd av att smugglare under 1920- och 1930-talet årligen skeppade ut miljontals liter alkohol från olika tyska hamnar. På internationellt vatten möttes dessa av smugglare som i mindre, snabbare båtar förde spriten vidare över gränsen till de skandinaviska länderna. Det finns en del populärkulturella skildringar som bidragit till en romantisering av smugglarna; de var djärva, äventyrliga och ett slags folkliga hjältar som ständigt gäckade myndigheterna. Lokala kustvaktare fick nämligen förlita sig på cyklar, roddbåtar, segelbåtar och sedermera något snabbare motorbåtar medan smugglarna använde sig av en serie moderna teknologier såsom snabba, amerikanska bilar, racerbåtar, telefon och radio. I Spritsmuggling på Östersjön. En kulturhistorisk studie av nätverk i tillblivelse tränger Johan A. Lundin och Fredrik Nilsson bakom myten för att undersöka hur spritsmugglingen organiserades samt hur tillit skapades i nätverk som sträckte sig över nationsgränserna.
