Young APG witnesses the assassination of his farmer dad over a trivial wage dispute and pledges never to be enslaved by money.The single minded APG creates from nothing a banking empire based on helping the 'little people'. His biz practices are sound and innovative, but the incessant drive and huge growth creates many enemies. Wall Street finance and traditional banking see him as a dangerous game changer and competitor. The government treasury, from faraway sees him simplemindedly as a monopolistic treat. With the help of the 'little people' APG successfully fights these forces and in the end, wins over such powerful adversaries.This is the anti-Godfather and anti-Soprano story.Mario Puzo's invented characters play on the most negative stereotypes of Italians as Mafiosi and gangsters. The Godfather is an East Coast, New York story of negative energy producing high crime drama.The Huckster is a true story, a West Coast and a California success story. A man of the people turns the table around the powerful. He is the positive hero while the government, and the other powerful institutions are the villains.The story also turns the page on an avalanche of Marvel improbable superheroes and super villains, shifting the focus on a real hero in the real world. Finally, it is the story of truly inspired action for the common good in an age of greed and corrupted leadership.The story is rich with events like the SF great earthquake and the market crash of 1929, and characters like the banker JP Morgan, president Roosevelt, treasury chief Morgenthau, the Pope, Mussolini, Hollywood stars, the writer Steinbeck and many others, making it interesting and fascinating.
