The book is about a larger-than-life cynical, populist, corrupt, progressive, and mesmerizing Louisiana political figure named <s>Tony</s> <s>Eddard</s> Willie Stark and narrated by his conflicted hatchet-man Jack Burden. Despite the theme of the novel, whether or not man was inherently evil and the effects of such a belief, being obvious to anyone who actually read any more than the blurb on the back (the characters, especially Stark, have long, erudite arguments about this), the book is often denounced as an attack on the great man or an apologetic for the monster. The book has been made into a pair of movies, and at least the first version was really good. </p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="See_also">See also</span><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Huey_Long&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: See also">edit</a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></h2> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Charles_Coughlin" title="Charles Coughlin">Charles Coughlin</a> - Both men rose to prominence in the Depression, albeit on opposite sides of the political spectrum.</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Earl_K._Long" title="Earl K.
