Notes, bibliographical essay, index. Description: Includes a section of black and white plates. The publisher's blurb reads: ''Born in rural Winn Parish, Louisiana, Huey P Long grew u p to become the most influential governor the state of Louisiana has ever known. Indeed, he commanded a power base that ultimately made him virtual dictator of the home state. The story of Long' remarkable life, from his turn-of-the-century upbringing to this death at the hands of an assassin 1935, fascinates students of Louisiana politics still. In this book, William Ivy Hair carefully sets Long and his regime in the context of the history of Louisiana and the South. He provides both a new biography of Long and a thoroughgoing treatment of his social, political and economic environment in light of the latest scholarship.''
