War Is a Racket
Published in 1935, 'War Is a Racket' by Smedley Butler is a critical examination of American corporate imperialism and the military's role in serving business interests. Butler, a Marine Major General, reflects on his experiences and reveals how he acted as a 'muscle man' for corporations, suggesting that wars are often driven by profit motives rather than noble causes. This work is notable for its candid critique of capitalism and the military-industrial complex, making it a significant piece of anti-war literature.
