I’ve been working to get all of the Ken Burns’ historical documentaries torrented, when I came across the one he did on Huey Long. Other than the fact the he was a famous character, was supposedly quite corrupt, and got himself assassinated before he could be elected president, I didn’t really know too much about him.

Long was a populist and murky political figure, similar in many ways to Barack Obama, especially in the raising of great passions both for and against him. One of our greatest poets / writers, Robert Penn Warren, wrote a classic novel based loosely on him, which has been made into two critically acclaimed films. He was such a fascinating study, that I decided to create a one-stop super-torrent with all of the materials on him I could find.

Here is what this torrent includes:

•	The Audiobook of “All The King’s Men”, by Robert Penn Warren
•	Freshly ripped copies WITH .srt files for both the 1949 film and the 2006 remake with Sean Penn
•	The Ken Burns’ Documentary
•	Audio of the famous “Share the Wealth” Speech
•	Video clips of Movietone film shorts that I have ‘liberated’ from YouTube
•	Links to useful educational sites

This torrent does NOT include:

•	A copy of the excellent book “Kingfish: The Reign of Huey P. Long, by Richard White (2006) – Nobody has torrented it yet.
•	The film “Kingfish: A Story of Huey P. Long” (1995) starring John Goodman. It isn’t available on DVD.
•	Any of Huey Long’s 3 books – they are unavailable in audio or eBook format that I could find.
•	EBooks of either KINGFISH or ALL THE KING’S MEN – I could not find them if they exist.

If anyone has any of these missing materials or simply some Huey Long materials of any kind, please torrent them.

"Long was a populist and murky political figure, similar in many ways to Barack Obama, especially in the raising of great passions both for and against him."

You must have a terrible opinion of President Obama. I couldn't disagree with you more.

Thanks for this well constructed torrent. But, people, don't forget, these films are loosely based on Huey Long's life and political career, but they are fiction and shouldn't be construed to be source material. Plese read the biographies available before forming an opinion .

Obama ain't no Long!
