Synopsis

A Decorated U.S. Marine General's Shocking Exposé of War Profiteering - Still Relevant 90 Years Later

In War Is a Racket, two-time Medal of Honor recipient Major General Smedley D. Butler pulls no punches. Writing in 1935, Butler lays bare how wars are waged not for freedom or democracy, but for the benefit of corporations, banks, and defense contractors. Drawing from firsthand experience in Latin America, World War I, and China, he delivers a fierce and courageous condemnation of military exploitation.

This upgraded edition includes:

Clear, readable formatting and chapter headings for easy study

Ideal for political science classrooms and antiwar readers

Includes Butler's bonus essay: To Hell with War!

In this short but powerful work, Butler reveals:

How corporations push nations into conflict for profit

The role of Wall Street in global military decisions

Why soldiers fight wars while others get rich

Practical reforms Butler proposed to limit war profiteering

If you care about truth, transparency, and American foreign policy, this book is essential reading.
