Reviews
"Butler is scathing in his description of how the U.S. government wasted the lives of those soldiers who died but also of those who survived... A stunning condemnation of U.S. militarism and it ends with a demand that rings true down to today - 'To hell with war.'"-- Ashley Smith, Socialist Worker, "There is little likelihood one will encounter a putdown and discounting of armed service, while questioning the reason for it, by a top experienced commander, anywhere within a light year of Marine General Smedley D. Butler's WAR IS A RACKET. And there is utterly nothing comparable to the grim anthology of photographs devoted to the unspeakable hideousness of the bloody gore of modern - since Napoleonic times - warfare, THE HORROR OF IT. The American public recoiled from these two works when they were published, in close sequence, two generations ago... We can hope that this dual masterpiece at hand, in quite a different context, does a better job of reducing the level of ignorance."-- James J. Martin "Butler is scathing in his description of how the U.S. government wasted the lives of those soldiers who died but also of those who survived... A stunning condemnation of U.S. militarism and it ends with a demand that rings true down to today - 'To hell with war.'"-- Ashley Smith , Socialist Worker "America had seen its own attempt at a Fascist coup. Why, then, is this incident in U.S. history not better known? Why don't children learn in school about the plot to seize the United States government?... The time has obviously come for Smedley Butler to have his moment in the sun. Butler's attack on the military-industrial complex does more than expose war for the racket it is: It also gives the antiwar movement unmatched credibility." -- Ken Mondschein, corporatemofo.com, "America had seen its own attempt at a Fascist coup.

Synopsis
General Butler's screed crosses all ideological boundaries. Originally printed in 1935, War Is a Racket is GeneralSmedley Butler's frank speech describing his role as a soldier as nothing morethan serving as a puppet for big-business interests. The introduction discusseswhy General Butler went against the corporate war machine and how he exposed afascist coup d'etat plot against President Franklin Roosevelt. Widelyappreciated and referenced by left- and right-wingers alike, this is an extraordinaryargument against war - more relevant now than ever. This elegant new edition includes additional photos from thenotorious 1932 anti-war book The Horror of It by Frederick A. Barber and twonever-before-published anti-interventionist essays by General Butler., Originally printed in 1953, War is a Racket was the interventionist speech of the most decorated soldier in American history, a man twice awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor, who was to be made the facist American leader in a 1932 coup d'etat. Instead, he exposed the attempt with this impressive, plain-speaking speech, one that has proven to be as popular with both peaceniks and anti-interventionists as it is extremely rare. This new edition offers an introduction contextualising Butler's speech and its importance on both sides of the fence decades after., General Smedley Butler's frank book shows how American war efforts were animated by big-business interests. This extraordinary argument against war by an unexpected proponent is relevant now more than ever., 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. In addition to photos from the notorious 1932 anti-war book The Horror of It by Frederick A. Barber, this book includes two never-before-published anti-interventionist essays by General Butler. 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.
