In the summer of 1959, A. J. Liebling, veteran writer for the New Yorker, came to Louisiana to cover a series of bizarre events that began with Governor Earl K. Longs commitment to a mental institution. Captivated by his subject, Liebling remained to write the fascinating yet tragic story of Uncle Earls final year in politics. First published in 1961, The Earl of Louisiana recreates a stormy era in Louisiana politics and captures the style and personality of one of the most colorful and paradoxical figures in the states history. This updated edition of the book includes a foreword by T. Harry Williams, Pulitzer Prizewinning author of Huey Long A Biography, and a new introduction by Pulitzer Prizewinning critic Jonathan Yardley that discusses Lieblings career and his most famous book from a twentyfirstcentury perspective.
