Give it a pass.......2007-09-06
I can practically read anything on the Mafia . . . except this book. I could barely finish it. It was so boring. The first 50 pages were good. It was actually focused on late Louisiana Mafia boss Carlos Marcello. Then, it happened. Nonstop writing on the assassination of President Kennedy. Again, it is nonstop and the author continually asks the reader questions that I don't think he ever conclusively answered. (By the way, I have never seen some many questions presented to the reader before in ANY book; my guess would be a couple hundred questions the author poses to his readers.)
I swear about 500 pages is just going over the same points in the assassination again and again. Oswald knew this guy. This guy knew this guy. Jack Ruby knew this guy. All these connections go back to the Marcello organization. I GET IT! ENOUGH!
You read about a page and half on Marcello and you think, yes, he's finally back on track. He's actually writing about Marcello now. But no, all of the sudden it gets back to the Kennedy Assassination. I have rarely rolled by eyes while reading a book except for this one -- and I am continually rolling my eyes. Not because the author states that Marcello was probably involved in the Kennedy Assassination, but because he has to hammer his points over and over again and again (nonstop).
Now, if you are looking for a book on the Kennedy Assassination, you got it here. But if you are looking for a book about Carlos Marcello, then skip it because you are just going to get mad with the author barely touching on Marcello past the first 50 pages without his throwing in some Kennedy Assassination angle.
This should not be called "Mafia Kingfish: Carlos Marcello and the Assassination of President Kennedy." It should be called "The Assassination of President Kennedy: The Assassination and Some Mob Boss Named Carlos Marcello." Very little is about Carlos Marcello and his secretive organization. It's all about the Kennedy Assassination and Marcello's possible connection to it.
The last part of the book is on the FBI operations in the late 1970s that finally brought Carlos Marcello down. But it's only about 50 or so pages long, too. In short, there is maybe a hundred or so pages dealing with Carlos Marcello, and what you have left is the author trying to link the Marcello organization to the President's assassination, and nailing his one-tracked hammer on the same points time after time, page after page.
What a waste! Had this book been nearly 700 pages on Carlos Marcello and his organization it would have been perhaps one of the best, groundbreaking books on the underworld in the history of the American Mafia being there is very little actually known about the man and his organization other than the basics. Instead, we get a 100 pages on Marcello and 600 pages on his possible connection to the assassination of President Kennedy.
Sorry if I hammered my point over and over again about this book, but I was giving you a preview of what you will experience if you buy and read this book. As the mob would say, "Give it a pass."
Marcello vs. Kennedys........2007-03-16
This book is dated,but I'm not so sure that any other book on the subject is better.
Mr. Davis exposes the numerous links the Marcello family had to other key conspirators in the assassination of John F. Kennedy.Lee Harvey Oswald,Jack Ruby,and David Ferrie all knew each other and had Marcello family connections.
Another highlight of this book is the contrast of the New Orleans mafia and other families.They operated quite differently than say,the New York or Chicago mob.The culture of that area was much like Sicily.
Mr. Davis gives details on the extent of the corruption and political power enjoyed by Carlos Marcello.The transcripts of recorded conversations from the sting by the FBI reveal a lot regarding who was bought.Some major political figures are mentioned.
The details of Carlos Marcello's deportation clarify the animosity between the mafia and the Kennedy brothers.The egos on both sides of the law were factors in the eventual assassination.
The monumental part that J. Edgar Hoover played in the coverup and possible motivation for doing that are explained very well in this book.
In the end of the book Mr. Davis briefly covers some of the books that were contemporary with his.
The only thing he doesn't do is name the actual trigger men.
This book is available and inexpensive.It's a book I highly recommend for anyone wanting to study the assassination of JFK.
who killed the Kennedy's?.......2007-02-17
This book has been around for a few years but I've only read it recently.
The author, John H Davis, certainly convinces me that, regardless of who pulled the triggers, the shootings of John F Kennedy and Robert Kennedy were mob hits ordered by New Orleans mobster Carlos Marcello, while the truth was kept from the American public through the connivance of the FBI whose hands were far from clean.
The Kennedy's dared to bite the hands that fed them. John Kennedy used the Mafia in his rise to power & then not only turned his back on them but declared war on them with the assistance of Robert Kennedy as Attorney General.
Robert Kennedy had a long history of failed attempts to deport Carlos Marcello which included kidnapping him & dumping him (literally) in a deserted backwater of Honduras. The Mafia & Marcello in particular hated the Kennedy's so intensely it was only a matter of time.
Consider this:
The unstable and unemployed Lee Harvey Oswald was a patsy of the Mafia & the FBI. Oswald's uncle & surrogate father Charles Murret, aka Dutz, was a bookmaker in Marcello's gambling operation in New Orleans. In the summer of 1963 Oswald who was living in Dallas came to his uncle for financial help & did not go away empty handed.
The FBI, headed by the megalomaniacal J Edgar Hoover, was so riddled with corruption itself by this time that any investigation done by them was bound to be a whitewash as it would expose the FBI's connections to the New Orleans underworld. Hoover had a long history of friendship with mob boss Frank Costello & stubbornly insisted that the Mafia did not exist. When presented with a report of the infamous crime conclave of 60 mafia heads in upstate New York in 1957, Hoover ordered all copies destroyed. When Robert Kennedy became Attorney General he identified organised crime -- not Communism -- to be the greatest menace to American society; he also earned Hoover's enmity by putting a stop to Hoover's hitherto direct access to the President's office, ordering Hoover to report instead to the attorney general, ie, him.
Jack Ruby, who has been portrayed as a Patriot distressed by the death of his idol, had underworld connections & was at that time suffering from terminal cancer. He owed large sums of money to certain Mafia figures & he executed Oswald to shut him up & to redeem his own Mafia debt. Ruby died in prison of cancer.
The Robert Kennedy assassination is murkier. It was blamed on Sirhan Sirhan, although there is evidence at least one other gun was used in the shooting. Sirhan perpetually owed gambling debts & often did odd jobs for low level crime figures. He hung around California race tracks whose betting operations were connected to Marcello; he also worked as a groom for horse ranch owner Desi Arnaz who was a known friend of LA mobster Mickey Cohen . Cohen's penchant was for secretly filming movie stars in sex setups & blackmailing them - Lana Turner & Marilyn Monroe were victims. Jack Ruby and Mickey Cohen were old friends too: it was all one big extended family
There is evidence suggesting Robert Kennedy's real killer was Thane Cesar, the security guard who escorted Kennedy through the hotel kitchen where he was shot. Cesar was not the hotel's usual security guard; he was temporarily hired to fill in for the day of June 5; he had strong ties to a San Diego mobster (later imprisoned for skimming race-track revenues) & associate of Mickey Cohen. The Ambassador Hotel was partly owned by investors connected with organised crime. Not long after the shooting, the Hotel's director of security disappeared.
The Kennedy brothers were undoubtedly touched with greatness and vision, but with such flaws of character and judgement and hubris that it brought their downfall. Meanwhile the public has been content to be fed a load of crap rather than have the Kennedy name & legacy tarnished. False gods usually have feet of clay.
Oswald, Ferrie, and Marcello: 3 Can Keep a Secret if 2 are Dead.......2006-11-12
I would recommend this book to anyone familiar with the political history of New Orleans and Louisiana in general. A fine book to discuss while having dinner at Mosca's or La Louisiane or somewhere like that. For those of you who know nothing at all about New Orleans, don't bother with this book, because you will never understand it. You almost have to be from Louisiana to understand this book at all. If you're not, go ahead and learn about the history of New Orleans, especially in the twentieth century, before attempting to understand this book. Davis is pretty much right on the money with his writing, though. A nice investigation of the CIA-Mafia alliance that once existed. Also includes a nice look at other wiseguys like Trafficante, Costello, Hoffa, etc... A very good read.
Can't Live with Him, Can't Live without Him........2006-01-27
I have, for a long time been very interested in the history of America's oldest Mafia Family. I have, however, had a very difficult time finding reliable information about the history and activities of the New Orleans Combine. Mr. Davis published this book after sifting through literally thousands of pages of government files. While I imagine that this would confuse anyone, Mr. Davis seems to have entirely lost his grip on reality. The idea that the JFK assaination was the result of a conspiracy is taken for granted in his book rather than questioned. I repeatedly found myself very annoyed by his tendency to pontificate about his JFK conspiracy theories when the story I REALLY wanted to hear, the rise and fall of the New Orleans Combine, was thrown by the wayside. On the other hand, there is no where else that the reader can go to find accounts of Carlos Marcello's rise and fall unless one is willing to slog through trial transcripts and government wiretaps. I did enjoy the section on Operation BRILAB, the FBI sting that brought him down. Marcello boasted about which politicians were gambling at his casinos, sleeping with his prostitutes, and acting as co-conspirators in his criminal activities. But a lot of information has come out since this book was published, including wiretaps of Marcello griping to his Dallas Underboss about the accusations of his involvement in the JFK assassination. "Yeah," said the Underboss, "You wouldn't know Jack Ruby if the [expletive] were to uh, walk into your room." One thing is clear as far as the assassination is concerned; Marcello screamed and howled about the Kennedys, but when JFK was murdered, he was just as devastated as the rest of America. Mr. Davis just needs to get his facts straight.
Book Description
From the moment he took office as governor in 1928 to the day an assassin’s bullet cut him down in 1935, Huey Long wielded all but dictatorial control over the state of Louisiana. A man of shameless ambition and ruthless vindictiveness, Long orchestrated elections, hired and fired thousands at will, and deployed the state militia as his personal police force. And yet, paradoxically, as governor and later as senator, Long did more good for the state’s poor and uneducated than any politician before or since. Outrageous demagogue or charismatic visionary? In this powerful new biography, Richard D. White, Jr., brings Huey Long to life in all his blazing, controversial glory.
White taps invaluable new source material to present a fresh, vivid portrait of both the man and the Depression era that catapulted him to fame. From his boyhood in dirt-poor Winn Parish, Long knew he was destined for power–the problem was how to get it fast enough to satisfy his insatiable appetite. With cunning and crudity unheard of in Louisiana politics, Long crushed his opponents in the 1928 gubernatorial race, then immediately set about tightening his iron grip. The press attacked him viciously, the oil companies howled for his blood after he pushed through a controversial oil processing tax, but Long had the adulation of the people. In 1930, the Kingfish got himself elected senator, and then there was no stopping him.
White’s account of Long’s heyday unfolds with the mesmerizing intensity of a movie. Pegged by President Roosevelt as “one of the two most dangerous men in the country,” Long organized a radical movement to redistribute money through his Share Our Wealth Society–and his gospel of pensions for all, a shorter workweek, and free college spread like wildfire. The Louisiana poor already worshiped him for building thousands of miles of roads and funding schools, hospitals, and universities; his outrageous antics on the Senate floor gained him a growing national base. By 1935, despite a barrage of corruption investigations, Huey Long announced that he was running for president.
In the end, Long was a tragic hero–a power addict who squandered his genius and came close to destroying the very foundation of democratic rule. Kingfish is a balanced, lucid, and absolutely spellbinding portrait of the life and times of the most incendiary figure in the history of American politics.

A very good bio of the Kingfish, but not as good as the Williams' masterpiece.......2007-07-23
Huey P. Long is my favorite political figure of all time. Since I read T. Harry Williams' masterful bio of Long, I've tried to read any and everything about Huey that I can get my hands on. When I saw "Kingfish," I scooped it right up. Admittedly, I may be biased because I think Williams' book is the best political biography ever written and may hold Long bios to a very high standard. In the end, after reading through this book pretty fast - it is less than 300 pages - I liked "Kingfish", and would recommend it to anyone interested in learning about Huey but without the time to read Williams' large text. Further, whereas Williams' book is fairly pro-Long, this book is mostly anti-Huey. Nevertheless, it doesn't hold a candle to "Huey Long" by Williams. It isn't even close.
The book doesn't spend much attention on Huey's early years (he was born in 1893), and focuses on the period from his successful gubernatorial run in 1928, to his Senate election two years late, to his ascension as a national figure, to his assassination in 1935. In between, it provides delicious detailed stories and tidbits of many of Huey's often unbelievable exploits as he ruthlessly conquered every inch of Louisiana and came close to running for President and perhaps endangering FDR's re-election chances in 1936. Beyond that, the book perfectly captures the political and social mood in the Pelican State in Long's day: the sweltering heat, the unrest and bitter hatred Huey engendered in the elite and ruling classes and the equal love and hope he inspired in the long-ignored rural masses, and of course Long's larger than life persona and even bigger ambitions. I also loved the author's use of all of the classic insults Huey and his enemies hurled at each other that seem to appear on every page ("demagogic screech owl from the swamps of Louisiana").
"Kingfish" is a very good book and a quick and fun read for anyone interested in learning about Huey's life and exploits. However, if you want to read a great book, do yourself a favor and buy "Huey Long" by T. Harry Williams. Still, the two books could work well together - as "Kingfish" covers a few areas Williams' book does not - so it might be a good idea to check out "Kingfish" as an appetizer, and move on to "Huey Long" as the main course. You won't be disappointed.
Good book for what it is.......2007-04-18
This book concentrates on the breathtaking few years that Huey Long was in office. He was an amazing politician and this book makes for fast reading. I agree with the previous reviewer, however. There is little depth here and we never get to know the man. Find the Pulitzer prize winning bio written in 1969 for a thorough look at this complex man.
Interesting life, but a hard study for a biography.......2007-01-29
A biography of Huey Long is going to be dominated by one thing: his megalomaniacal desire for power. It makes for interesting reading in political tactics, but that's really all there was to his life. White is even-handed in his handling with his treatment of Long's excesses, but his prose is a little clunky and repetitive. The problem with a biography on Long (or perhaps just this biography on Long) is that there is little to texture the overally picture of a power-hungry man. There is no underlying complex character to understand. A recommended read for those seeking to understand the dangers of power to excess or people with a romantic attachment to the state of Louisiana or the 1930s.

Kingfish, The Reign of Huey P. Long.......2007-01-04
As a native of Louisiana, I was very anxious to read this book. The book was very, very "wordy". Finishing the book was difficult, because my interest was lost in what I considered to be too many unnecessary details. Readers of this book need to keep in mind, however, that this is a history book, not a novel.
HUEY COMES ALIVE!.......2006-08-05
White's book is not only the more readable biography of Huey, it is an excellent specimen of the biography genre.
Timely reconsideration of an important figure.......2006-07-24
Writing while the gap between rich and poor widens, and from Southern California, recently identified by researchers from Wayne State U. as the nation's most economically segregated region, I was naturally drawn to the new biography of one of the last politicians to show serious concern over the way wealth is distributed in the U.S. This is the abridged version of The Huey Long Story, less exhaustive than T. Harry Williams' bio but almost certainly more readable.
Huey was a politician the likes of which we'll probably not see again. He traveled widely throughout his state pressing the flesh and remembering names. He delivered on promises to build roads, hospitals, and schools; to provide free textbooks and make LSU a first-class institution; to challenge Standard Oil and other major economic interests in order to bring some dignity to impoverished people. For all that he was equally loved and reviled. Can anybody outside of Cuba or Venezuela imagine listening -- sometimes on a hot, humid afternoon -- to a politician speak for three hours? We nowadays give that kind of attention only to rock, sports and film stars, but Huey Long commanded it in the '20s & '30s.
As a U.S. Senator, Huey Long tried to take his Share Our Wealth program to a national level, rivaling FDR's New Deal. His jealousy of Roosevelt and his own presidential aspirations led him to obstruct the passage of some of the more progressive parts of the National Recovery Act, a strategy that worked against his own state's interests. With the understanding that desperate times cause people to put their faith in crooks who would exploit their fears, Roosevelt regarded Huey as a demagogue. Ultimately, Huey's sharp dealings and alienation of opponents led to his assassination.
In this bio we don't see much of what Huey said; we're told numerous times that he was mesmerizing. We get quotes that are cartoonish: "I never read a line of Marx or Henry George or any of them economists. It's all in the law of God." But LSU history professor Richard White has given a straightforward, albeit somewhat repetitious, measure of Huey P. Long.
The biggest pie eater of them all........2006-07-21
Huey Long often described his corrupt counterparts as pie eaters. Well, Huey and his cronies were the biggest pie eaters. What Huey wanted was total power, and he set out to get it by dominating Louisiana politcs. His rule precluded all others from even having a say so in the political process. Louisiana is even now a corrupt state as witnessed by Edwin Edwards rule or by the Katrina disaster.
This is a great read. I think the definitive read was William's book, but who wants to read 700 pages on a subject. This is a better summary history of a person who could have become a dictator. Fortunately, Roosevelt became President and Huey was cut down by a assassin's bullet (or maybe one of his bodyguard's stray bullets). The author does a nice job of detailing the short rise and fall of this demagogue. Huey did some good, but also did a lot of bad. This book portrays both characteristics. I wish the author would have portrayed the assassination in more detail. Otherwise a great book.
Good but not Great.......2006-07-03
Mr. White's book is a solid condensation of the saga of Huey Long, but as I read this book I couldn't shake the feeling that the book was often just a Cliff Notes version of T. Harry Williams' Pulitzer Prize winning opus. The details that White omits for brevity sake are what makes Williams' book great. Mr. White includes all the major information, but he omits the color that illuminates the players around Huey and by doing so diminishes Huey Long's strengths and weaknesses.
I was not impressed by Mr. White taking a shot at Mr. Williams in the booknotes section...unnecessary and tasteless.
Good but not great. Read this, then go read T. Harry Williams book.

A needed corrective.......2001-04-19
I read and was mightily impressed by T. Harry Williams' 1970 Pulitzer-prize-winning Huey Long biography. but when I read it (July 5, 1970) I thought it was far too favorable to Huey. This book, fortuantely, corrects that and is far more chilling in illustrating the methods of Huey. We often wonder how the German people could have let Hitler attain power and even some wonder why he remained in power. Huey Long was not on the level of unmitigated evil that Hitler was, but in his disregard for the rule of law and the basic tenets of democratic government he was as frightening a phenomenom as has come across the American scene that I am aware of. And when one reflects how revered he is still in Louisiana--his statue is in Statutory Hall in Washington, anybody related to him got elected in Louisiana, etc.--it is apparent that his dictatorship was popular. Apparently most people thought his disregard for law and democratic behavior was ok because they felt they were better off because of it. In St. Bernard parish in 1932 Long's slate for state office received 3,152 votes. There were 2,194 registered voters in the parish. The opposition candidates received 0 votes. This kind of voter fraud makes Hitler's wins by 98%, etc., seem honest by comparison. This is a stunning book and should be read after reading Williams' book so that one gets the whole picture of a stunning situation in American history.
Sorry, Not as Good as T. Harry's Book.......1999-05-19
Although it's readable, it's not as good as T. Harry's classic
An impressive biography of the dictator of Louisiana........1999-01-06
A slightly flawed account of the life of the Louisiana despot because it rarely takes account of the true feeling of warmth that many of his electorate felt for him. Focusing mainly on his political manouvering and manipulation of the media and the electorate puts his few good deeds in the shade. However, the wealth of sources and quotes are impressive - my favourite by Long's younger brother, Earl, talking about O.K. Allen who was governor when Long assumed his senatorship: "If a leaf blew in through O.K.'s window and landed on his desk he'd sign it."
