Earl Kemp Long (1895–1960) was the political heir to his brother Huey in Louisiana politics. A country boy who never lost his common touch, he ran for office in every state election between 1933 and 1959. He was the best campaigning politician Louisiana ever produced. In his final term as governor, he suffered a breakdown on live television while addressing members of the legislature. He was kidnapped and committed to mental institutions in Texas and Louisiana. That he engineered his own release gives proof that he was in charge of his faculties. Abandoned by his family and his allies, Long was written off politically. But in 1960, he had other ideas. He was plotting his comeback. In poor health, smoking and drinking, he decided to challenge the incumbent in Louisiana's Eighth Congressional District, Harold McSween. Doctors warned him that the race could cost him his life. But politics was his life, and he vowed to win the election or die trying. He did both. This book tells the story of the last year of Long's life and the campaign that he waged and won by sheer force of will. He won the election (and a sizable bet he placed on it), but he was dead in just over a week. Win the Race or Die Trying captures the essence of Earl Long by chronicling the desperate, death-defying campaign he waged to redefine his legacy.

"Earl K. Long, three-time governor of Louisiana, is on the stump campaigning--the thing he does as well as anyone who ever lived. Barred by law from running again, he is still determined to run for reelection. His aide, Joe Arthur, and his wife, Blanche, are concerned about his health and behavior. Uncle Earl is also in personal crisis. As Joe Arthur keeps him on schedule, he hears the voice of his childhood nanny, Auntie Alice, calling; he recalls his courtship of Blanche; his assassinated brother, Huey. A chance encounter with a young boy reminds him of his lonely, childless condition. He is still "Uncle Earl," wheeling and dealing, but the past is closing in. Obsessed with his brother's fate, he does battle for his political ideals, fighting for the right of African-Americans to vote in the still-segregated South of 1960. Hospitalized in Galveston against his will, his deterioration concerns Blanche. As governor, however, he cannot be confined. Joe Arthur engineers his release and Earl is off on a hectic recuperative tour of the West. After his reelection bid fails, his restless energy is spent partying in New Orleans' French Quarter until a final, redemptive run for Congress. His final race is successful, but he has spent himself in the effort. In death, he returns to Auntie Alice and the rural roots which were the underpinnings of his politics and his life."--Publisher's website.

Russell Long (1918-2003) occupies a unique niche in twentieth-century United States history. Born into Louisiana's most influential political family, and son of perhaps the most famous Louisianan of all time, Long extended the political power generated by other members of his family and attained heights of power unknown to his predecessors, including his father, Huey. The Long family and its followers pervaded Louisiana politics from the late 1920s through the 1980s. Being a Long--especially a son of Huey Long--preordained Russell for a political life. His father's assassination set the wheels in motion for his eventual political career. In 1948, Russell followed his father and his mother to a seat in the United States Senate. In due course, he rose to the politically eminent positions of majority whip and chair of the Senate Finance Committee. Russell Long: A Life in Politics examines Long's public life and places it within the context of twentieth-century Louisiana, southern, and national politics. In Louisiana, Long's politics arose out of the Longite/ Anti-Longite period of history. Yet he transcended many of those two groups' factional squabbles. In the national realm, Long's politics exhibited a working philosophy that straddled the boundaries between New Deal liberalism and southern conservatism. By the time of his retirement in early 1987, he had witnessed the demise of one political paradigm--the New Deal liberal consensus--and the creation of one dominated by a new style of conservatism.

Arranged according to discipline and time period, chapters cover such topics as the environment, the Civil War and Reconstruction, social and cultural history, the people of Louisiana, local, parish, and sectional histories, and New Orleans. It also lists major historical sites and repositories of primary materials. As the only comprehensive bibliography of the secondary sources about the state, ^ILouisiana History^R is an invaluable resource for scholars and researchers.
