5.0 out of 5 starsKingfish Rules!
By Ian Watkin on June 27, 2013
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Alkways been an admirer of Huey P. Long - eccentric, bizarre, unique in American politics - used the tools of corruption for the public benefit! Show me anyone else like that...This is a great intro for those yet to meet him...

4.0 out of 5 starsA harbinger of what my happen in the future
By philip l. pleska on February 4, 2013
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Despite an overwhelming ego, Long appealed to the masses during a time of severe turmoil in the US economy. Many of the same factors are starting to manifest themselves in the present day economy. It would not take much for another personality like Long to rise again as a favorite of the economically distressed.

Too much about Louisiana history that has little to do with Huey Long - particularly the details of racial matters.

5.0 out of 5 starsA needed corrective
By Schmerguls VINE VOICE on April 19, 2001
Format: Paperback
I read and was mightily impressed by T. Harry Williams' 1970 Pulitzer-prize-winning Huey Long biography. but when I read it (July 5, 1970) I thought it was far too favorable to Huey. This book, fortuantely, corrects that and is far more chilling in illustrating the methods of Huey. We often wonder how the German people could have let Hitler attain power and even some wonder why he remained in power. Huey Long was not on the level of unmitigated evil that Hitler was, but in his disregard for the rule of law and the basic tenets of democratic government he was as frightening a phenomenom as has come across the American scene that I am aware of. And when one reflects how revered he is still in Louisiana--his statue is in Statutory Hall in Washington, anybody related to him got elected in Louisiana, etc.--it is apparent that his dictatorship was popular. Apparently most people thought his disregard for law and democratic behavior was ok because they felt they were better off because of it. In St. Bernard parish in 1932 Long's slate for state office received 3,152 votes. There were 2,194 registered voters in the parish. The opposition candidates received 0 votes. This kind of voter fraud makes Hitler's wins by 98%, etc., seem honest by comparison. This is a stunning book and should be read after reading Williams' book so that one gets the whole picture of a stunning situation in American history.
