Huey Long Audiobook

" Fine biography of an important american politician. "

" Entertaining history with many good one-liners and stories, such as Long saying that he could out-promise Roosevelt because he did't have a mother to keep him honest. "

" I read this book a few years ago and to me it is the end all be all of Huey Long biographies. An incredibly charismatic, if not downright dictator of Louisiana in the 1930s. "

" The standard biography (and a competent one) of the larger-than-life governor of the great state of Louisiana. "

" Read this years ago in hardcover when it came out, long before I started writing reviews. I remember it well. A real classic of biography. "

" Those interested in LA history, or this peculiar figure with in it, would enjoy... "

" His reputation will never die! A very interesting book and real life character you could not invent in a novel "

" One of the great classic books about American politics. Huey Long has always been one of my favorites. He was both startlingly talented and truly odd, and by the standards of his day, a real political progressive. This book should not be missed. "

" Really good! Also, fascinating! "

" Exhaustingly thorough, somewhat frustratingly organized. Must read for any serious political junkies. "

" This is the definitive biography of the greatest politician to ever live. Not to mention my idol lol. "

" The best biography of Huey P. Long, written by a University of Southern Mississippi professor who manages to keep it neutral. "

" One of the great books about a historical figure "

" Best political biography ever, bar none! "

" This book is fantastic. Although I'm personally biased, I feel like this book takes an objective view of such a dynamic and controversial figure. An excellent read for anyone interested in politics and the people who thrive in it. "

" He won a big lawsuit against a big oil company and parlayed that into becoming the Kingfish. Eleanor Roosevelt hated him. "

" One of the best political biographies written. Long was such an unusual and power driven man, that he is an entertaining subject. Throw in Louisiana culture and politics and it leaves you with a highly entertaining read. "

" Definitely pro-Huey on the balance, but Williams seems to make an effort to show both sides. Very worthwhile read about an amazing politician. Great (and frequently humorous) anecdotes scattered throughout. "

" I highly recommend this book be read. It doesn't matter if you have heard of Huey Long or not. Whether you like him or you don't, this book takes an unbiased stand, which is hard to come by when it comes to such a figure as the Kingfish. "
