Smedley Darlington Butler. But perhaps his bravest act of all was to declare, after his retirement in the early s, who was really winning and losing during the bloody clashes. It was business interests, he revealed, who commercially benefited from warfare.
War Is a Racket is the title of the influential speech Butler delivered on a tour across the United States, as well the expanded version of the talk that was later published in —and is now reprinted here. This seminal piece of writing rings as true today as it did during Butler's lifetime.
