Publisher's Synopsis
This book has been prepared for the benefit of people who want the real truth concerning Huey P. Long, which truth has been kept from the public by authors, journalists, and historians. No book on the life of Huey Long has been accurate. All books that have been published concerning this great man have either been published by his enemies, his cynical observers or ignorant historians who have built their books out of the newspaper morgues. This book is written by one knowledgeable concerning his greatness who loved him and respected him and dares, in this volume, to tell things that have never been told before. William Howard Taft, while Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, said: "Huey P. Long is the most brilliant attorney to appear before me during my term as Chief Justice." Dr. Gerald L. K. Smith was with Mr. Long when he was shot. He was at his bedside when he died. He delivered the funeral oration over his grave.
