| Summary | "The Huey Long Murder Case" by Hermann B. Deutsch is a historical account written in the early 1960s. This book delves into the controversial assassination of Huey P. Long, the influential Governor and Senator of Louisiana, examining the circumstances and conflicting narratives surrounding his death. It introduces key figures and events from the dramatic political landscape of early 20th-century America, particularly focusing on the rivalry between Long and President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The opening of this work sets the stage for an in-depth exploration of Long's assassination on September 8, 1935, laying out the complex motives and conflicting testimonies that followed his death. In the initial chapter, the author reflects on the patterns of political assassinations, discussing various examples of notorious killers and the impacts of their actions. Long's assassination is highlighted as particularly enigmatic, with lingering questions about the true identity of his assassin and the motives behind the attack. The author introduces a wealth of eyewitness accounts and detailed evidence collected for an inquest, suggesting that the truth remains obscured by time and partisan grievances. Through an analytical lens, Deutsch aims to piece together the events leading to Long's death, presenting it as both a personal tragedy and a pivotal moment in American political history.
