According to Chuck Giancana, Long's assassin was sent by Chuck's brother Sam to kill Long, because Long had double-crossed the Mob, who had put him in power in the first place.

Long 'wasn’t some unwitting buffoon being used by a group of powerful people.'..... I can't think who might fit into that category??

I wonder what if any connections could be found between Long’s construction projects and the Army’s decision to hold one of its major prewar exercises in Louisiana in 1940? Fort Polk remains a major training center.
