War is a Racket

Complete 1935 edition of War is a Racket by retired Major General Smedley D. Butler USMC. Butler turns against his life-long profession and exposes war as a racket, in which the few profit and the many pay the aching costs.

 

This is a hard-hitting book by a hard-hitting soldier.

 

He does more than expose and denounce the racket of war. He outlines a program for the control of wars in future-a simple, hard headed program, based on his own experience, his knowledge, and his patriotism. Here is a man who knows, writing of things he knows about.

 

All students of thought should get this historic book. This 1935 edition is provided in a slim volume with full text at an affordable price.
