Publisher's Summary: On May 2, 1935, just months before his assassination, Governor Huey Long of Louisiana gave this address. Long was called an idealist who "despaired of democracy," the "messiah of the rednecks," and "Louisiana's last great orator." But he had perhaps as many opponents as he did supporters. In Ken Burns's documentary, Huey Long, I.F. Stone said, "I was really glad when they shot him...he could have become an American dictator." Long is the subject of Robert Penn Warren's classic novel, All the King's Men, and the Oscar-winning movie that was made of it. |
