Best Huey Long book

I picked up a copy of The Kingfish and His Realm by William Ivy Hair. Has anybody read it? I just want to know if it is worth the time or if it is child’s play compared to some of the others about him.

Do you want history or fiction?
History Huey Long by T by Harry Williams
Fiction All the Kings Men by Robert Penn Warren.
I have not read the book you reference

I’d prefer history.
Although the movie All The King’s Men is pretty good.

I have an old Every Man a King with Huey’s autograph, so I’ll say that one.

T. Harry Williams won a Pulitzer for his book on Huey Long.

The T. Harry Williams book is one of the best biographies I have ever read regardless of the subject. All the King's Men ranks way up there on my fiction list. I have read numerous books on Huey P. These two are at the top by a wide margin (although Robert Penn Warren denies that his book is a Huey Long book}.

Robert Penn Warren won the Pulitzer for All the Kings Men which is my favorite book.
Even though it's fiction I highly recommend it.
When I read the book in high school Warren was the only person to have won the Pulitzer for both a novel and poetry although I think someone else might have done it since.
