My friend D runs the History Book Club at Barnes and Noble and although I've been sick the last couple of days, I took a nap and then went over to the discussion. The book was Voices of Protest by Brinkley and was about Huey Long, Father Coughlin, and Great Depression politics. There is really nothing that I'm going to add to a review that you can't find at amazon, but I did really enjoy the book; it is tremendously readable and quite interesting.
The best part of the night was listening to Ernie, a 75-year old man, talk about his experiences at the time and remembering listening to Father Coughlin while he was growing up. Time to get some rest.
