Huey Long
Über dieses Hörbuch
He was one of the most extraordinary figures in American political history.
Huey Long was a great natural politician who looked, and often seemed to behave, like a caricature of the redneck Southern politico and yet, at the time of his assassination, had become a serious rival to Franklin D. Roosevelt for the presidency.
In this “masterpiece of American biography” (New York Times), Huey Long stands wholly revealed, analyzed, and understood.
