"A man is not a dictator when he is given a commission from the people and carries it out."
— Huey Long as quoted in HUEY LONG (Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award) by T. Harry Williams
Who was Huey Long? He was an extraordinary figure in American political history – a great natural politician who looked, and often seemed to behave, like a caricature of the redneck Southern politico. Yet, at the time of his death, he had become a serious rival to Franklin Roosevelt for the presidency. In this biography, the first full-scale analysis of Long, this intriguing and incredible man stands wholly revealed and understood. The eminent historian T. #HarryWilliams has created a work masterly in its scope and detail. This award-winning biography brings fresh life to the sensation-ridden years when Long became a figure of national importance. Huey Long was winner of the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award.
