War Is A Racket by Smedley D. Butler General Butlers screed crosses all ideological boundaries. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description 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 detat. 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 Butlers speech and its importance on both sides of the fence decades after. Notes The Anti-War Classic By Americas Most Decorated General. Back Cover Smedley Darlington Butler took his Constitutional vows seriously, repelling threats to America both without and within. Shortly after retiring from a lauded career, the popular Marine brought down a Fascist corporate plot to seize the White House. Concerned for the future of democracy, Butler began to speak out against the venal motives behind many of this countrys military actions. Written during the Great Depression, War is a Racket pulls no punches against a corrupt military-industrial complex, eager to murder both foreign and native-born children for the sake of profit. The Feral House edition includes two other anti-intervention screeds written by Butler, in addition to photographs taken from the astonishing 1932 antiwar book, The Horror of it. Adam Parfreys introduction reveals names suppressed from a Congressional investigation that verified the right-wing coup plotted against President Franklin D. Roosevelt by corporate bigwigs. War is a Racket, the piss-and-vinegar classic, may be even more relevant today than when it was first published 70 years ago. Author Biography General Smedley D. Butler was born in West Chester, Pa., in 1881. Educated at Haverford School he went on to become a Major General in the United States Marine Corps and was awarded two Congressional Medals of Honour. He received a Distinguished Service Medal in 1919 and retired from the army in 1931, after which he became the director of the Department of Safety and Republican Candidate for Senate, whilst working as a lecturer. He died in 1940. Review “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. Butlers 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 dont 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. Butlers 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 Review Quote “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.
