General Butler's screed crosses all ideological boundaries.
Originally printed in 1935, War Is a Racket is General Smedley Butler’s frank speech describing his role as a soldier as nothing more than serving as a puppet for big-business interests. The introduction discusses why General Butler went against the corporate war machine and how he exposed a fascist coup d’etat plot against President Franklin Roosevelt. Widely appreciated and referenced by left- and right-wingers alike, this is an extraordinary argument against war – more relevant now than ever.
This elegant new edition includes additional photos from the notorious 1932 anti-war book The Horror of It by Frederick A. Barber and two never-before-published anti-interventionist essays by General Butler.
