Hell, now I don't know if anyone will ever be able to find the review through all that murky stuff in the citation.

But anyone interested can try to find it in the New York Times Book Review, 1946, written by Orville Prescott. Interesting echoes of today's political milieu.

"There is something about Huey (Long), his combination of magnificent abilities and a genuine if primitive idealism with bottomless corruption and lust for power, which fascinates the literary as well as the political mind. Here was a man who destroyed the democratic structure of an American State while shouting his championship of the common man. How significant and how representative was he? How serious is the threat of his kind?"

It's available on the web.
