Huey Long: A Candid Biography is a comprehensive and detailed account of the life and political career of Huey P. Long, the charismatic and controversial governor and senator from Louisiana in the early 20th century. Written by Forrest Davis, a journalist and biographer, the book delves into Long's early life, his rise to power in Louisiana, and his national ambitions before his assassination in 1935.The book explores Long's populist politics, which aimed to redistribute wealth and power from the wealthy elite to the working-class and poor citizens of Louisiana. It also examines his authoritarian style of governance, his use of patronage and intimidation to maintain his hold on power, and his often volatile relationships with his political opponents and allies.Drawing on a wealth of primary sources, including Long's own speeches, writings, and personal papers, as well as interviews with his family, friends, and political associates, Davis provides a nuanced and complex portrait of this larger-than-life figure. He also offers insights into the social, economic, and political context of Louisiana and the United States during Long's era, shedding light on the broader forces that shaped his life and career.Overall, Huey Long: A Candid Biography is a compelling and informative read for anyone interested in the history of American politics, the populist movement, and the life of one of the most colorful and controversial figures in Louisiana and US history.With A Digest Of The Share-Our-Wealth Principles Prepared By Senator Huey Long.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
