Publisher's Summary
This book is the true story of a Louisiana governor and US senator who sought power - real power. Huey Long had plans to run against Franklin D. Roosevelt for the presidency. Until an assassin sought to end that plan. It is said that Huey Long had designs on becoming a dictator of sorts. But those plans, if he actually had them, ended with his death. This is not only a whodunnit but a whydunnit, as the case has never been formally resolved.
Hermann B. Deutsch was a longtime newspaper reporter, who knew Huey well. His The Huey Long Murder case tells with exquisite detail the ins and outs of Huey the man, his hold on Louisiana voters, the confrontation with the would-be assassin, the aftermath of his death, and conclusions about some of the pressing questions of the case: Who actually did it? And Why?
