Book Reviews of Kingfish: The Reign of Huey P. Long
Book Review: Tie with Williams for being definitive, but more entertaining
Summary: 5 Stars
I agree that the Williams book is one of the archetypal American biographies, but this book is far more readable, and probably enjoyable in the end. White tells a story that is hard to believe, but is true, without pulling punches or making Huey look like either a demon or god. Well worth reading, and if you enjoy the book as much as I did, you will seek out the Williams bio (as I did, reading it once again). Anyone interested in American history circa the depression era will find this book a must read.
