He was one of the most extraordinary figures in American political history. Huey Long was a great natural politician who looked, and often seemed to behave, like a caricature of the redneck Southern politico and yet, at the time of his assassination, had become a serious rival to Franklin D. Roosevelt for the presidency. In this “masterpiece of American biography” (New York Times), Huey Long stands wholly revealed, analyzed, and understood.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Many Louisianans populate the story, and Tom Weiner gives them perfect Southern accents…Weiner employs a sharp, authoritative tone for Long, telling his amusing and sometimes apocryphal stories. The combination of excellent material, skillful composition, and Weiner’s engaging narration makes this audiobook easy to recommend. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.” —AudioFile
“I know of no better American political biography.” —Saturday Review
“A brilliant, bawdy, unforgettable picture of the most colorful as well as the most dangerous man to engage in American politics.” —Washington Post
“T. Harry Williams has made pretty darn sure that his is going to be the definitive biography of Long...A king-sized portrayal of the extraordinary Kingfish.” —Kirkus Reviews
