📝 Description
Authored by Major General Smedley D. Butler, 'War Is a Racket' is a powerful and concise exposé published in 1935. In this book, Butler, a highly decorated Marine, argues that war is primarily a means for financial gain for a select few, at the expense of the lives and well-being of ordinary citizens and soldiers. He details how economic interests drive conflicts and criticizes the military-industrial complex, a concept he helped popularize.
