Review
...the republication of Zinman's book is a welcome event simply because he so skillfully recreates the insanity of Louisiana in 1935 ...Journalistic in style and tone. 'The Day Huey Long Was Shot,' is ultimately a fascinating examination of the insidious effects of a polarized body politic, and for that reason alone is an important work. -- Garry Boulard, New Orleans Times-Picayune
...this classic 1963 work of reporting has been reissued with a new afterword in which the author sifts through recently discovered evidence from the killing ...You can take any side and enjoy this book. If anything, it is better now than when it originally appeared. -- American Heritage
Though Zinman's revised book remains inconclusive, it's also a fascinating document about one of the most bizarre and mysterious incidents in American political history. It is as close to definitive as we are likely to come. -- Herman Trotter, The Buffalo News
Zinman writes with skill, and his prose is enlivened with an obvious personal interest in the subject. His interviews are excellent, and he has an even-handed objective reporter's approach that lends veracity to the book. -- Anne Price, Baton Rouge Morning Advocate

Paperback. Condition: Good. Moderate shelf wear, rear cover is creased, binding tight, pages clean and unmarked. In 1960, the Associated Press assigned David Zinman to write a feature article on Huey Long's death. The article was intended to commemorate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the legendary governor's assassination.While sifting through the relevant publications at the New Orleans Public Library, Zinman discovered that surprisingly little published information was available regarding Long's death, and even less data pertaining to Dr. Carl Weiss, the governor's alleged assassin. Moreover, publications on the assassination contained conflicting and often erroneous information. Finally, reporters and scholars had failed to investigate many important aspects of the still controversial case.Zinman's enduring interest in these mysteries eventually led him to write The Day Huey Long Was Shot, which attempts to provide the most accurate, authoritative, and unbiased account of the assassination. The author incorporates into his discussion the latest forensic evidence produced by the recent exhumation of Dr. Weiss's body, the discovery of long-suppressed evidence (including the alleged murder weapon), and findings of scientists and the state police based upon these sources of information. Much of the evidence remains contradictory, however, and readers are left to form their own conclusions. Seller Inventory # 240912024
