On September 8, 1935, Senator Huey Long was shot in the Louisiana State Capitol, and Dr. Carl Weiss was killed on the spot. Hermann Deutsch, a New Orleans newspaperman who knew Long well, gathers the evidence: a profile of the Kingfish, the weeks of political tension, testimony from the corridor and the operating room, and the questions that remain.
A detailed inquiry into one of the great political murders of American history, for true-crime and Louisiana readers. Download the free EPUB.
