Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, Robert Penn Warrens tale of ambition and power set in the Depressionera South is widely considered the finest novel ever written about American politics.All the Kings Men traces the rise and fall of demagogue Willie Stark, a fictional character loosely based on Governor Huey Kingfish Long of Louisiana. Stark begins his political career as an idealistic man of the people but soon becomes corrupted by success and caught between dreams of service and an insatiable lust for power, culminating in a novel that Sinclair Lewis pronounced, on the books release in 1946, one of our few national galleries of character.
