4.0 out of 5 stars
A helpful history of post-Huey Long Louisiana.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Huey Long's Louisiana Hayride: The American Rehearsal for Dictatorship 1928-1940 (Paperback)
While the author's virulent anti-Long bias is evident throughout the book, Long himself disappears after the first hundred or so pages. This book is most valuable in providing an explanation of what happened in Louisiana after Long's death, i.e. how the men he surrounded himself with were unable to build on his legacy (due mainly to their own criminal natures). Read against T. Harry Williams' "Huey Long," a balanced picture of the man would probably emerge.
