Share the wealth : [Huey Long vs. Wall Street

Share the Wealth: Huey Long vs.Wall Street is a panoramic overview of the life and times of the legendary Louisiana populist Huey P. Long. If America had listened to Long, we wouldn't be in the mess we are today. During the 1930s, the big loud voice of Louisiana Governor (and later, United States Senator) Huey P. Long spoke out against the plutocrats of Wall Street and on behalf of America's farmers, laborers, small businessmen and the hard-working middle class. He posed a no-holds- barred threat to the rampant predators of the Federal Reserve Money Monopoly and if he had not been gunned down in September 1935, it's certain that Huey would have played a part in expelling FDR fromthe presidency. Here's Huey's story as told in his own inspirational words-and the words of those who knew him best, both friend and foe alike. . . .Softcover, 101 pages There have been many books written about Huey Long. This little book is not designed to be a comprehensive overview of his life and work. Those interested in Hueys life are referred to Huey Long by Professor T. Harry Williams. That Pulitzer Prize-winning volume is probably the best overall study of this remarkable character. Our intent here is to provide the reader a broad-brush study of Hueys career, coupled with a selection of writings by and about Huey that help us understand this larger-than-life legend in his own time. As far as Hueys assassination is concernedand well address that in the closing pages of this worksuffice it to say that if the individual widely believed to be responsible for the crime had not killed Huey, its quite likely that another individual (acting alone or part of a broader conspiracy) would have tried to do it, sooner rather than later. You see, precisely because of his outspoken populist nationalism and his opposition to the powerful interests of Wall Street and its corresponding allies in the Rothschild banking dynasty of Europe, Huey was indeed The Man They Had to Kill. Its as simple as that. If Huey P. Long had ever achieved the presidency, he would have been responsible for serious reformin the classic sense of the wordthat would have made America (and the world) a very different place today. We are indebted to the quite informative website located at spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/ for the excellent and well-balanced summary of Hueys career that is reproduced in this volume. This website is a treasure trove of information about politics and intrigue that is matched by few others. Now, please sit back and join us in a colorful journey through the life and times of one of Americas most memorable figuresone whose brief but blazing appearance on the human radar screen is one that will not likely ever be matched.
