A report on how the greed of a privileged few, subsidized by public funding, creates substantial profits for themselves from mass human suffering.This was a speech given by General Butler during a nationwide tour in the early 1930's, but it applies even more today! Listen as he frankly discusses, from his experience as a career military officer, how business interests commercially benefit from warfare. He then suggests several practical solutions for reducing the pillage.

Great book

What a sharp man with great wit. You know almost every high level military officer figures this duplicity out, but it rarely comes to light.

A deeper yet unpopular patriotism

Knowing what happens over the 90 years that follow this book, I am confident in declaring Butler a prognosticator! Too bad profiteers are also hard-working.

Racketeer

Still can be comparable to, today's war for profits. I enjoyed this book, short and sweet and to the point.

Outdated but

Even though this was written decades ago, it is perfectly written to explain what is happening today.

Excellent Timeless Listen

General Butler is clearly a man who saw horrible things during the first world war. Many of the promises of his book seem to have been disproven by the Second World War, but are unfortunately just as applicable to modern conflicts as they were to our expeditionary ones at the beginning of the 20th century.

Thought provoking

As a millennial generation Marine, I find, understand and agree 100% with general Butler here. But have we gotten ourselves so far into the racket that it is now too late to get out?
