 | Huey Long Invades New Orleans by Garry Boulard
While many books have been written on the life and death of Huey Long, none have adequately addressed his asssault of New Orleans, or the reasons behind it -- until now. By 1934, Long was one of the most powerful and influential men in the country. He derived his power largely through the suport of the 8 million members of the Share Our Wealth movement, Long's solution for recovering from the Great Depression. Long almost had complete control of Louisiana within his grasp. Yet, one major obstacle remained in his way -- New Orleans, and its stubborn leadership. Relying on interviews with more than two dozen people who vividly recall the conflict, in addition to his meticulous research, author Garry Boulard captures the essence of the era and reveals what led Long to ultimately order 3,000 militiamen into New Orleans. A free-lance writer, Boulard has written on the political, economic, and social life of Louisiana and New Orleans for newspapers including the New York Times the Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribute, and the Christian Science Monitor.
