"Tyler Lucas is an exciting new voice in history-writing, whose scholarship, highly readable writing style and passion for his subject shines through." - Andrew Roberts, author of Churchill: Walking With Destiny

Foreword by The Honorable Mary Jo Jacobi, former Assistant U.S. Secretary of Commerce and former Special Assistant to the President of the United States.

When Huey Long raised his right hand to take the governor's oath of office, Louisiana, and the nation, would never be the same. Serving as chief executive from 1928 to 1932, Long ushered in a new era for the Bayou State, an era in which the hegemonic coalition of planters and industrialists was replaced with an administration that finally gave a voice to the people of Louisiana. Assiduously accumulating and masterfully wielding power, Huey Long achieved vast results that profoundly changed the lives of countless Louisianans while also amassing the greatest concentration of power over one state the nation had ever seen.

But was his all-consuming quest for power detrimental to democracy in Louisiana? Though much of society benefited from his reforms, politics in Louisiana undoubtedly took a turn for the worse as corruption, stolen elections, and rampant power abuses became a common fact of life under the Kingfish's rule. Gracefully written and well researched, Kingfish of The Lodge delves into these questions while also providing a vivid history of America's most extraordinary governorship.
