Huey P. Long--power, politics, and perseverance.
Chronicling his meteoric rise to popularity and allegations of corruption, Thomas O. Harris tells of Huey P. Long's many social reforms, which endeared him to the rural poor and made him an enemy of big business. He also vividly points out the overall danger of Long's politics and his underlying selfish motives. Harris calls Long a dictator and a threat to the American political system but finds it hard to deny Long's heyday in Louisiana.
