[Lekooks] Play Readings to Address Facism in America

[Gerald Flakas]

 Lewis wrote this book in 1935, based on the rise of "good 'ol boy" populist demagogue Huey Long in Louisiana. His rise to power paralleled the rise of fascism in Europe at the time. I have the book if anyone wants to borrow it, or you can get it from the library.Gerry F.
PS parallels to today, especially with "Good 'ol Boy" JD on board, are remarkable.
