On September 8, 1935, Huey Long, a United States senator and former Louisiana governor, was fatally shot in a back corridor of the Louisiana state capitol. Although the most widely accepted theory holds that Dr. Carl Weiss, son-in-law of Longs political opponent Judge Benjamin Henry Pavy, was responsible, the assassination remains one of the most debated events in American political history. In Killing the Kingfish: The Huey Long Assassination, author Jack B. McGuire offers a comprehensive and revelatory examination of what really happened that night.

Killing the Kingfish explores critical incidents leading up to the assassination, including Longs investigation of a murder plot in early 1935 and his battles with Judge Pavy. These events, often overlooked by other historians, are crucial to understanding the volatile climate that surrounded Longs leadership. The volume also presents previously undisclosed information, including secret state investigative files that have never been made publicuntil now. McGuire uncovers secret plots to assassinate Long, some involving local political figures and law enforcement officials. He details planned attempts on Longs life originating from influential factions in Louisiana. McGuires findings suggest that, had Long not been killed when he was, an ambush would likely have occurred within weeks.

McGuires scholarship not only corrects the historical record but also offers essential insights into the dangerous political landscape of 1930s Louisiana. Incorporating rare investigative materials, Killing the Kingfish will be an invaluable resource for scholars and readers interested in the true story behind Huey Longs tragic end.

Arvustused

"Killing the Kingfish is the definitive, most authoritative account of Huey Longs assassination and its aftermath. No historian has approached this topic with greater care, knowledge of Louisiana political history, and a better, more dispassionate command of the facts than Jack B. McGuire." - Robert Mann, author of Kingfish U: Huey Long and LSU

"Jack B. McGuire is a human encyclopedia about Louisiana politics. For the last ninety years, the assassination of Huey Long has spawned persistent but varied conspiracy theories about why and how it occurred. Considering all the evidence and all the theories, McGuire renders what should be the final word on this tragic event." - Thomas E. Patterson, author of American Populist: Huey Long of Louisiana

"Jack B. McGuire has devoted as much time and energy to studying Huey Long and his family as anyone alive. With Killing the Kingfish, McGuire turns his attention to Longs assassination. The result is an exhaustive dissection of practically every scrap of evidence, some of it never before brought to bear, about Longs death. Killing the Kingfish is more than a justification of its authors convincing final word on the assassination, however, and McGuire rewards the reader with insights into the Kingfishs personality, as well as those of his admirers, detractors, and assassin. More than ninety years after his death, Huey Long remains an object of fascination and debate among historians and other observersand his assassination has been more heavily debated than most other aspects of his lifebut with Killing the Kingfish, McGuire has brought the seemingly endless speculation to its conclusion." - Michael S. Martin, author of Russell Long: A Life in Politics
