The Kingfish and His Realm: The Life and Times of Huey P. Long (Jules and Frances Landry Award)
€œThe best biography of Long written to date.€Â€"New Orleans Times-Picayune €œA remarkable work. . . . Of all the biographies of Huey Long, [Hair€s] best captures the atmosphere of public life in the Pelican State. . . . Written with passion and mordant wit, the book is literally hard to put down.€Â€"Reviews in American History €œWell proportioned and tartly written, Hair€s book is notable for its conceptualization and exhaustive research, for its analysis of Long€s extraordinary control of Louisiana and his role in national politics, and for its interpretation of the Long phenomenon.€Â€"Journal of American History €œA masterly biography of the redneck messiah. . . . A consistently engrossing portrait.€Â€"Kirkus Reviews(starred review) €œA fascinating and highly readable look at the improbable rise, and fortunate fall, of one of the most dangerous politicians in American History.€Â€"San Francisco Chronicle
