Smedley D. Butler (1881–1940), the most decorated officer in U.S. military history, including two Medals of Honor, wrote a searing critique in War is a Racket. Drawing from his service in conflicts from the Spanish-American War to World War I, he exposed how wars enriched corporations, bankers, and industrialists while soldiers and civilians bore the devastating costs. With unflinching candor, Butler revealed the profiteering motives behind global conflicts, delivering a timeless call for peace.
This audiobook vividly captures Butler’s incisive essay, perfect for listeners seeking a concise, powerful perspective on war’s economic drivers. The narration conveys the passion of Butler, whose legacy as a warrior turned truth-teller endures. Plunge into this compelling listen and uncover the stark realities of war through the experience and wisdom of a legendary Marine.
