Book Reviews of Huey Long

Book Review: One of the best historical biographies I have read!
Summary: 5 Stars

Huey Long was a was an amazing politician and a contradiction. A man of the people who came close to establishing a dictatorship in Lousianna. He overturned a corupt political system operated by the Lousianna's wealthy old families, and gave basic services to the poor of his state. Despite Long's liberal program, one of the greatest fears of many liberal New Deal Democrats was that Huey Long would succeed Roosevelt as president. Williams does the almost impossible, he helps the reader comprehend the contradition that was Huey Long.
