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 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.

Author Biography:

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.
