War Is a Racket is Marine General Smedley Butler's classic treatise on why wars are conducted, who profits from them, and who pays the price. Few people are as qualified as General Butler to advance the argument encapsulated in his book's sensational title. When War Is a Racket was first published in 1935, Butler was the most decorated American soldier of his time. He had led several successful military operations in the Caribbean and in Central America, as well as in Europe during the First World War. Despite his success and his heroic status, however, Butler came away from these experiences with a deeply troubled view of both the purpose and the results of warfare.

A great quick book emphasizing that we have been filled with lies and deceptions which have drug us into all foreign wars that we as a nation have had little to no personal interest. We have traded prosperity and freedom for a facade of world peace sold to us by malicious actors.

Absolutely should be a must read for high school students. And college just in case they missed it. 

The apparent truth of it all!

Not really suprising. It certainly is absolutely disgusting the way people profit off of death. Hopefully someday the human spices will evolve beyond this sort of be.

Eye Opening

it's an incredible, short and concise listen. Considering when the book was originally released, it remains extremely relevant, especially in today's more mordent and harsh political climate. I genuinely wish more people would give it a listen, especially US Americans to whom the book was originally for.

concise and very direct.
