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 bigbusiness 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 rightwingers alike, this is an extraordinary argument against war more relevant now than ever.This elegant new edition includes additional photos from the notorious 1932 antiwar book The Horror of It by Frederick A. Barber and two neverbeforepublished antiinterventionist essays by General Butler.
