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