Author: General Smedley Butler
Condition: New
Paperback
"War is a Racket" is marine general, Smedley Butler's classic paper on why wars are conducted, who profits from them, and who pays the price.
Few people are as qualified as General Butler to advance the argument.
When "War is a Racket" was first published in 1935, Butler was the most decorated American soldier of his time. He had lead several successful military operations in the Caribbean and in Central America, as well as in Europe during the First World War.
Despite his success and his heroic status, however, Butler came away from these experiences with a deeply troubled view of both the purpose and the results of warfare that still apply today.
